Hi Jack.

If you think that nothing on your network is causing the latency problem, then I�m not sure what to advise. At some point or other in this long thread, we have covered most of the possibilities causing packet delay, from wireless/ electrical interference to router/ network/ laptop setups. At the moment the BQM graph is showing very few spikes so things have settled down over the last few hours.

It may be worthwhile asking Aquiss to have a comprehensive look at the �DNS lookup� issue, since their server is your first link to the Internet. FWIW, I found this post on Apple Support Communities:-

�I added local domain resolution to dnsmasq configuration and now the Mac OS X box is working as expected. It also now works with or without the domain being specified, which is a little unexpected given it didn't work correctly before. I am guessing that the OS X C library calls have been configured in such a way that they fail, or at least don't work as advertised, without a domain name being present.�

�Adding local domain resolution to dnsmasq� may mean more to you as a Macbook user than it does to me.
From what you�ve posted, there seems to be an inordinately long time spent converting domain names to IP addresses. Somebody, having a good look at your network and laptop, will be able to discover why this should be.

We already supplied Jack with a series of DNS server addresses a few weeks back, both ours and 3rd parties. Results are the same.

Have you been trying to solve his latency problem, Martin? If so, any ideas why the "lookup" is taking so long?

Suggest a part two is started if required as this rather long.

A link to the previous post would be helpful for continuity.
