Connection problems

still occurring, but to add to these woes is the difficulty in actually
connecting to Demon.
The following is an extract from the 'Connect' log:

Connection failed - Host not found

Can anyone explain?
Another problem is that on occasions especially in the evenings, web
pages frequently time out before opening.
All these difficulties have only recently occurred, and as far as I am
aware, I have done nothing to this machine.

DNS 2 158.152.1.43
I believe that originally the router set the DNS as a cache address

This sounds similar to a problem we've been battleing with for a
few weeks since moving and getting a new Demon connection. Things
seem to have improved quite a bit over the last week or so
though. What router are you using?

The router is their model number F5D7632-4 version 1000uk
I would add that as well as this router, I can also connect using a PCI
ADSL modem. That has also had problems in activating the Demon
connection. Sometimes it takes upwards of 30 minutes before I can log
on.
Frustrating.

I must say over the past few weeks I've also had random DNS query problems
where
the Demon DNS servers claim a host can't resolve. It's sporadic, but I've
certainly
had some more again today over the last few hours.

As I mentioned in an earlier part of this thread, I also use a PCI ADSL
modem. If I can get this to connect to Demon, which is a problem in
itself, then site connectivity appears considerably better than with the
wireless router.
