If anyone was wondering on the status of the situation, I swapped the router with a linksys I had laying around from my birthday. DNS works fine now. It's weird that it decided to not work so well right when my ip changed. It was working fine before that. Anyways, I had that router for probably 3 years, so I think it was time ( although it's up in a different location for reasons explained here: http://www.antionline.com/showthread...034#post894034 ). Thanks.
