Cox DNS sucks at working.

About twice a month for about 12 hours, I cannot access any webpages unless I have visited them recently and the DNS information is cached. I experience this in both phoenix and tucson where I have cox service.

Anyone else ever experience this?

Try adding the folowing to your registry and see if it helps:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"NegativeCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NetFailureCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NegativeSOACacheTime"=dword:00000000

will do-- I'll know in about two weeks whether it worked,

thanks.

If they do not force their own DNS on you, you are welcome to use my Nameservers for your DNS resolution. Drop me an E-mail if you'd like.
