[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: Fwd: ADSL problem

[James T]

Hi,

I guess it could be either:

1) DNS - but you have checked this using dig and firefox doesn't stall 
as "looking up www.foo.bar". Also you seem to be able to connect using 
just the IP address. Either way, I would recommend setting your DNS 
servers to the OpenDNS servers - which are very reliable.

They are:  208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

2) IPV6. This can cause problems with some routers.  I have had this 
problem when using Linksys, ebuyer value and belkin - but not netgear.  
If in doubt I would recommend disabling IPV6.

Also, you can trying using konqueror browser - which apparently doesn't 
suffer this problem.

Hope that helps,

James
