Annoying intermittent internet problems
My housemate Snake and I are having annoying intermittent internet problems.
There has been some drop out issues for a while, but over the last couple of days, it has got seriously annoying. We either can't get on to the internet, or can briefly before it falls over again.
We know it is not our machines, because my iMac, his iPad and his PC are all having the same problems. Calling the ISP indicates we have no troubles with our landline. The router seems to be working fine.
When Snake pings from his PC, he can often ping an numeric IP address but not the url. He feels it is some sort of DNS problem with the ISP's DNS box. But it is the sort of problem which is beyond the paygrade of the help desk folk running through their standard list of what to do.
*Sigh*
