Constant need to flush DNS cache

[jakobox2]

Hi guys, quick question... been doing some poking around online and couldn't find an answer.

Lately I'm finding that I'm constantly loosing my internet connection. Sometimes specific sites, sometimes google. I discovered that using the terminal command to flush the dns cache "dscacheutil -flushcache" solved the problem. But lately I've been running it 3-4 times a day!

I don't even know where to start with this problem. Should I call my ISP? If so, what should I tell them? or is it something to do with the OS? or the router?...

Thanks for any input!

I'm guessing it's an ISP issue, try using OpenDNS or google dns service and see if that fixes it?

Thanks! Just configured things with Google DNS service, and so far so good.... The real test will be if I don't have to flush the cache throughout the course of the day.... I'll know soon enough.
