[Cialug] DNS problems at Mediacom??

[jrnosee at gmail.com]

I had this problem last night too.  I was getting a mediacom search page for
EVERYTHING.  Only on my freshly booted ubuntu system.  My Vista desktop that
had been on for days was fine.  I don't know if it was 'cause of when the
system was loaded, or what.  I don't think that should matter since
everything goes through the same router.
