Long delay in DNS lookup after restart/resume windows


Since I've a new Cisco router I've trouble browsing the web after resuming or starting my laptop. I did some debugging and it seems that I have a network connection, but that the DNS is failing for a while (say; more that 50 seconds).

You can see what I mean in my ping and nslookup output below. I tried this with Google Nameservers and my internet providers' DNS server, but both have the same result. After everything is fired-up for a while, everything works fine. (meaning, internet works, and all tried nameservers reply really fast).

Would be nice if someone has a clue on how to solve this issue.

Extra info: windows7, broadband connection, both wifi and cable connections share this problem.

Solution

  • Had the same issue. Here's what worked for me, behind a Cisco EPC3925 (cable ISP).

    In Windows 7/8 open Network and Sharing Center > Manage Adapter Settings. You may need to hold down the ALT button to see the Advanced > Advanced Settings Options . In adapters and bindings, check that the bindings list TCP/IPv4 before TCP/IPv6
