Probably the problem is that your DNS is not returning the text record, but returning host not found. Correct. The 'DNS server' (such as it is) in an Alcatel Speedtouch only resolves A records. Any other type returns host not found. I got bitten by it when running a mail server trying to resolve MX records. Will I still be able to download Signatures? Or will I need a new DNS server? If I do need a new DNS server is their one that I can trust. I could install it on my Linux box unfortunately my partner won't understand/cope with having to ensure that the Linux machine is running before accessing the internet and or printing.

Probably the problem is that your DNS is not returning the text record, but returning host not found. There is, AFAICT, no such host, there is only a text record asociated with it.
