I noticed that my macbook and pc were occassionally having an issue where it would take a long time to find a website. A few minutes later it would get through with no issue. This issue happened on a number of websites, and there's no rhyme nor reason.
I think the issue lies in the DNS server that Airport is broadcasting to wifi connections.
My setup: I have a cable modem, which is connected to a 3Com router. The 3Com router is also the DHCP server, and has the DNS server entries set to the 2 from OpenDNS. The ip address of the 3Com router is 192.68.1.1.
Connected to that is an Apple Extreme. This has the ip address 192.168.1.100. This is set up in Bridge mode. I have a MacMini connected to this via ethernet and it experiences no issue. This is also set up to have the DNS Servers listed as the 2 from OpenDNS.
However, during troubleshooting I noticed that on my macbook the first DNS entry (under wifi) is 192.168.1.1. This entry is greyed out and I can not remove it. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue and how I can get the airport extreme to broadcast a correct dns?
