No Proxy here and I am using my providers DNS Server as well as Google
8.8.8.8 & 4.4.4.4
It is not my firewall causing this problem.Using arno-iptables-firewall
on 6 dist's, 3 wheezy, 1 Testing & 1 Sid. The DNS problems are only on
the 3 Wheezy dists. The Oldest wheezy dist was installed when Squeeze
went stable and it was not having this problem until Wheezy went stable.
I don't know if the problem was in Squeeze or not. I seldom used it as
it had problems with X so my primary dist wad Wheezy.
Thanks, again, for the reply though.
