Hi Robert,

This name server (192.168.3.1) went down about two months ago.  As a
part of my ongoing battle with Qwest and their crappy VDSL service
(which I have localized to my subnet), they have told me to use
these IP's for DNS:
206.80.192.1
204.147.80.5
207.108.112.1
204.147.80.1

I know the IP's you listed are returned by the DHCP lease, but
they are wrong.  They have told me so, but won't fix it.  Go
figure.

Run this script for a while and see if you get any packet loss:
while [ 1 ]; do 
echo `date "+%m-%d-%y %H:%M"` `ping -c60 130.13.163.1 | grep loss | awk
'{print $7}'`;
done

Change the 130.13.163.1 IP to your own first router (lookup using 
traceroute).

If you lose packets, it takes 30 seconds to retransmit, so your online
speed will really suck.

George
