I have a Linksys router at home that I stopped using as my DHCP/DNS provider. I had setup a machine to work on that was Suse Linux, so I thought to also work on DHCP and DNS I would use that for my home network.
Problem arose about a week into this experiement when internet connections started dropping. Pages could not be found etc. Usually it takes just a couple of re-freshes and the pages comes up.
If I re-start Bind, then the problem goes away, but slowly creeps back up again. Now the weird thing is, this is not an issue with Linux or Bind. I tested out using a Win2k server as the DNS and the same problem arises. It seems that for some reason over time computers here just lose the DNS connection or are not connecting properly to translate addresses. I have no issues connecting via IP address though. For instance my at work will come up with an error, but no issues if I just use the servers IP address.
Logs seem to indicate no errors. More ever, right now what I have set up is almost exactly as is configured at work where I have never had any issues. The only difference is at home here I have a cable connection with a Linksys router, where at work I have a DSL with a PIX firewall.
Any ideas?
