Exclamation Strange error in event log about DNS servers

Hey guys.

Recently, my laptop has not immediately obtaine dinternet access after connecting to our network. I get the yellow triangle for about 25-30 seconds after it boots up. I decided to look at the Event Log and found these errors. Could someone please give me some insight on the meaning of these errors and possibly a fix? I have a Belkin n300 router with the latest firmware. The network drivers are the latest as well. These are all "Warnings" in the event log viewer. Thanks for your help as always.

Name resolution for the name wpad.Belkin timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Name resolution for the name client58.dropbox.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Name resolution for the name teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Thanks,
wws

Try changing your DNS server IP addresses to:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Does the yellow triangle go away and all works well after you let the machine finish booting?

Yes but it happens again through the day. It might be just my cruddy router disconnecting us all, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a configuration problem.

Have you tried SpywareDr's suggestion?

Bumping threads is considered rude, especially when feedback has not been given for all suggestions. Thank you.
