Aaaargh!

My DNS is currently shot to ribbons, and I can't see most of the web. it took about 10 tries over half an hour to get through to LJ.

Th firewall is currently showing a tide of virus-spew at about 100-per-hour, which might be something to do with it.

[edit: all back up to speed within a couple of hours. But it WAS the two hours of the day when I'm most likely to be using the net. Boo! Hiss!]

Just told the laptop to use 194.72.6.57 and 194.73.82.242 instead of whatever DHCP tells it.
All OK now.

(those are BT name servers)
