Hello all,
I'm encountering a problem where my Netopia modem is losing connection to the DNS servers and are subsequently unable to make any queries. Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? |

| Are you sure that it is DNS loss and not loss of sync or loss of PPP?
Post the logs from your UHP unit.

Hi jyshih88... Doc has a good point. I haven't seen any problems myself but it made me take a close look at DNS in general: »Michigan DNS Benchmarking |
