stable -oops should be unstable//
according to reports I've read
However it is a solution I have recommended if you do not get internet, or only partially get internet
The best would be, I think, to fill in some of your ISP's DNS servers
I have found that if you manually enter your ISP's DNS servers, stability and to some extent speed is increased in Windows as in Linux

Hi Husse !

This isn't going to speed your internet experience up at all !
I have just done a few tests and it takes almost treble the amount of time to get a result as it does from my ISPs DNS servers ....
(2.781 x to be accurate)

The DNS lookup is the initial part of the internet connection, it takes just mere milliseconds to perform and will not be noticeable
at all to the user .... plus I always question the validity of the DNS lookup tables on such servers as they are open to abuse

Hi Mike
I agree - and I also made an embarrassing typo
However I have found that if you explicitly specify the DNS servers stability (and speed?) increases
At times I have been unable to connect to the net if I did not do that
