In my FC7, using Firefox, if for example, I access www.google.com, I get an essentially instantaneous response. If I then close the browser, reopen it, and again try to access google, there is a long delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response. (I note that my browser is set to delete all private on closing.) During this delay, the browser reports that it is looking up the URL. If I then wait a few minutes I can repeat the whole scenario.
I suspect that something similar may be happening with my Pan news reader.
Any suggestions?
It seems your DNS lookup is intermittently slow. I'd log into the router/web gateway (192.168.1.1 in your browser or so) and run the DNS lookup diagnostic test - if it is shows similar behaviour, you will know it's a problem with your internet provider. I used to see such problems in the past and IIRC they always cleared up upon talking to the provider.
