Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bind9
A couple of days ago (Tuesday?) my internet connections suddenly became very slow/intermittant. I thought the problem was at my DSL provider but after more checking the problem seems to be in Ubuntu/Linux somewhere. Reason: I can dual boot with windows 7 and have no problem at all. Also I tried a Ubuntu laptop on the same router ethernet port and it also works fine. So its not my hardware or my provider, and its not a general Ubuntu problem either. There are no error messages in any of the /var/log files and ifconfig looks normal. It seems to be a DNS problem as it's the initial connection to a host which often times out. If I get a connection, I can e.g. stream an radio station fine. If I try to e.g. traceroute any host it times out (no reply). Ubuntu 10.10 is totally up to date as of today. Other people are reporting the same problem e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1683691 PS Because of the nature of the problem, I am having to report this bug from another computer, however the software it at the same level. I would be happy to gather the information from the problem machine if you could tell me how gather it and get it to you.
