You should be getting instant responses from your ISP's name server.
Does your adsl modem muck around with DNS queries? Can you turn the
modem's DNS cache off? Otherwise you'll have to run your own caching
DNS.

I suspect so, but as I have jsut said he'd be better off getting the
"correct" style of ADSL filter from DSE and take it from there, I'm always
very suspicous of mutliple converters all joined together.

If this is eliminated / confirmed, and a direct connection to the

Good question. No idea.

You have EITHER a splitter (installed by Telecom) OR a filter on every
phone OTHER than the adsl device.
It should work with no filters, but when the phone rings or someone
rings out it will drop the adsl connection, and you may also get
interference on the voice line.
