Every 20 minutes or so the DNS just fails and any kind of internet connection disappears.
Can anyone help?

DNS has nothing to do with your internet connection.

well that's the thing I don't get.
whenever this happens, it says something about a DNS lookup failure.

You could help by posting your Operating System (or Linux distro) firstly.
