I'm sure that someone else pointed out that if you get an IP address from MaxNet that starts out with 117 your bandwidth will suck and your DNS lookups will be slower than molasses, even if you use an external DNS server.
In fact, I am now checking daily to see what IP address I've been given and if it is 117 I keep rebooting the router until I get one beginning with 222.
Anyone have any idea why the major difference between the two sets of IP's?
Is there a better solution to the problem?
