Any problems with O2 DNS servers?

Hi,

Recently I have been having some weird problems with my O2 connection.

Services that do not rely on DNS like streaming media, messenger, etc, are fine... but randomly I lose the ability to resolve any names (Browser sits there saying "Resolving Hostname...." (or something), after a few seconds, all is OK again.

Anyone else got a similar problem?

Thanks

Be/O2 dns servers have always been unreliable, use the open dns ones instead, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220.

I've been having loads of problems with O2's DNS.

In windows I put O2's DNS server as the primary DNS, then one of the OpenDNS IPs as the secondary on the adapter.

Haven't had a problem since
