Ever since we change the office router I've had some odd issues with my laptop on the office network.
Basically the DNS lookup seems to time out.
It just takes forever, no actual time-out message.
I thought it was the network, but all other computers worked very well.
And my computer worked very well on any other network.
In an earlier version of the Operating system, I was able to setup a local DNS cache, which solved the problem.
But with the latest OS, Lion, this is no possible. So I need to run a command in the terminal hundreds of times a day to get the web connections going. (sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder)
I found an article recently, that was talking about some routers not handling SRV requests ( as opposed to the old school A record request ). That's the closest I got as a description to my problem. ( they say requests can take up to 14 seconds but in my case, things go over forever. I've tested past 10 minutes)
I'll have the network admin update the firmware on the router this morning.
Has anyone dealt with anything like this?
