I am experiencing frequent DNS failures. No matter whether I use the Verizon servers, Google servers, Level3 servers or any DNS server, I get frequent DNS lookup failures.
Pinging the IP of the server will result in a "Destination Net Unreachable" error. (see below)
I have this problem on a Linux computer, a Windows 7 computer, a Windows XP computer, an Adroid phone, an iPhone, Kindle and an Android tablet.
I do not experience this problem if I take these computers to my work which uses Cox as the ISP.
I have rebooted the Verizon-supplied router several times with no improvement
