Host Resolving Problem

Hello everyone.

I have this strange problem happening with my WRT120N Router.

Everything is working well, and suddenly without a reason router stops resolving some or all or the hosts to IPs. When I try to access a web by hostname like www.google.com it says "Server not found", but typing google's IP (74.125.79.104) to the address bar works and website loads nicely. Some sites load well, but other parts, like facebook panel or advertisements display "Server not found". It sometimes lasts for a few minutes, sometimes wont go away until I restart the router. It happens every one to three hours or so. Skype, torrent and other programs continue to function properly.

I tried switching DNS servers via the router configuration page to google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but still it had no effect.

Same effect happens on all computers connected to the router, in the same time it stops resolving hosts.

Would really appreciate some help on this one

Thanks in advance, algiuxas.

You should update your firmware. Sounds like a bug to me.
