The exit node is directly plugged in to the gateway. Its an DIR-655 http://support.dlink.com.tw/ which just have to run our internet traffic + the tor exit node.
Does the exit node get a public IP address there?

Problem is that when the node is running i lose my internet on every other PC around. Connection is still there but it take years to resolve the names....so i figured it must be an DNS problem.
It may also be that your uplink is simply building up some delay when under heavy traffic (esp. uplink). I've seen ping times go up to several seconds on smallish DSL links under heavy upload so that DNS resolution times out.
Try to run, like, 'ping 8.8.8.8' and look at the ping times.
(8.8.8.8 is one of google's DNS servers, but that is only relevant as I can remember that address; we just need the ping replies.)
