See if this is the issue, Grant. (applies to upgrades)

Run the command:

dnscmd /Config /EnableEDnsProbes 0

This will disable EDNS queries (which allow for UDP packet > 512 bytes,
which some DNS servers may simply be dropping). If this doesn't fix the
problem, you can re-enable EDNS with the command:

dnscmd /Config /EnableEDnsProbes 0

If it works, then you can read some more in kb articles that MSNewbie posted
(thanks!)
