I've updated to Mountain Lion, and I'm having some DNS problems. I always PPTP/L2TP VPN connections on my macbook. Recently after a while of working with Mountain Lion, VPN stops sending and receiving data and I have to disconnect/connect again to make it work again. I'm not having the same problem with iPad, iPhone and PC.
and without the VPN, when I try pinging 4.2.2.4 , 8.8.8.8 and other DNSs and all I get is timeouts! But the ping works fine on my other devices. I also tried setting the DNS to Google and OpenDNS DNSs (8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.4, 8.8.8.8, ...) but it still didn't help. I also tried emptying DNS cache and other solutions. but nothing.
I'm guessing that these two problems are tied together. Any solutions?
Thanks.
