Does anyone else get DNS errors?

I've been happily browsing all morning and now suddenly my DNS lookups fail.

nslookup returns this:

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 168.210.2.2: Timed out
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 196.14.239.2: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 168.210.2.2

If I ping the 2 servers I get responses of between 500ms and 1000ms

The DNS lokkups fail for a while (This time +/-20 minutes) and then suddenly everything starts working again.

Is this common? Or just me?

Note that while the DNS fails everything else is still 100%. Downloads still running, wepages with cached dns still work.

Other Info:
Using 3G Novatel connected on GPRS (Still no 3G yet :( )
Windows XP Home
Dell Inspiron 5150, 2.8GHz, 512MB
