January 4, 200818 yr Summary: I get DSL I have it for about 6 months My ISP gets bought out by another company My internet only works a little over half the time, and when it does it works half as fast as it used too. I call many times asking for help, no response. I leave for a trip. Come back and internet does not work 70-80% of the time. Called ISP they say it is my problem. In my scans it says problem is in IP and DNS Ok, for the past three days I think my internet has not been working about 70-80% of the time. I have ran many diagnostics on my home network, desktop, laptop, and anything else I could find and it has came up with the same thing FRI JAN 04 16:24:30 2008 LAN PC unable to communicate with DNS

failed. With the little bit of computer knowledge I have I a pretty sure that this is their end and not mine. Am I correct? So I have called my ISP many, many times since they were bought out a few months back, but consistently they tell me that the problem is on my end and not on theirs. If you have any more questions about this feel free to ask. Thanks for any help you can give me, Chris Trespasser's Will Be Shot, Survivors Will be Shot Again.....And bam!

January 4, 200818 yr Are you sure that everything is set up correctly? Is it possible for you to just change ISP's?
January 5, 200818 yr Author Ya I am sure it is set up right becuase it was working just fine before my ISP was bought out. And I wish I could just switch ISP's... Although I think they have fixed it because it is almost working at 100% now. Trespasser's Will Be Shot, Survivors Will be Shot Again.....And bam!

January 5, 200818 yr I don't think it's on your end, since DNS servers are typically assigned at random by your ISP. Linux User/Enthusiast | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Stack Overflow Member | GIMP User...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.
January 5, 200818 yr Why not try switching to a different DNS server? OpenDNS is a free alternative and probably better than your ISP's.
