One might think that, but I find it often not to be the case. I can
recall many networks where the DNS servers returned by the DHCP server
didn't work well at all, and things got a _lot_ better when I manually
configured a couple working DNS servers (e.g. the Google ones at
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Around here, Comcast's DNS servers are famously
bad.
Then shoot the idiot running that wireless network. If he's one of my
juniors, tell me so I can fire him (as he's just proved he can't do the
job he's paid to do)
