[OT] Tethering Problem

[Robert Sneidar]

Whenever that is true, there is a problem with the ISP DNS. Often they will move their primary DNS servers and not tell anyone or do a really poor job of it. Their previous primary DNS can sometimes fall into neglect, and no be updated properly or at all, in which case the request will timeout and your secondary DNS server, if specified will be queried. If that fails, then it will go down the list of DNS servers you or the DHCP server have specified, until it runs out, then the root hints will be queried, if your DNS server is configured with root hints. 

All of that is for naught however, since he specified that the only sites he is having a problem with are HTTPS sites. DNS problems would be pervasive.
