1289960 2012-07-21 23:39:00 It keeps coming up with DNS errors when I go to a web site

-Its a blue VMC usb stick about 2 years old, it has only used about 226k out of 2G and the prepaid simcard was topped up 2 weeks ago
-It worked perfectly ok last weekend at Whangamata at low signal strength, wouldn't work yesterday at kids soccer with full strength signal at Parrs Park.
- It says its connected but when I go to a url it comes with DNS error
- Tried it a laptop in which it used to work fine and comes up with same error. Tried it on my home PC same message
-All three computers are using Chrome but on all three tried it using latest OE9, still the same.
- I guess it points to hardware failure of the vodem but it connects ok and says its ready to go.
-Should I buy another Vodem and try the sim card card in it?
