Wild guess: maybe the DNS information you have manually provided to DD-WRT got made wrong by changes in the network (seems plausible given the IP lookup data others have given), and something's going wrong with the magic they use to override other DNS servers besides theirs (including the one you're using which you thought was valid but perhaps has now changed). Try reconfiguring DD-WRT to get its DNS information from your ISP's DHCP server and see if your problem persists. (I believe you just set Static DNS to all 0s in DD-WRT to accomplish this.) -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
