websites being down.

[scottjames84]

Hello.

when browsing the internet over the last 24 hrs we have been having some problems at my house.

When ever someone is browsing a website the website might all of a sudden be down but only at our house.

For example about 30 mins ago i was browsing the green button forum and it went down but on other peoples computers that I have been talking to on MSN it seems to be working but on any of the 5 comps on my network the website doesnt work.

this has happend to other websites aswell.

I have reset the modem and router.

What could be causing this?

Sounds like a possible DNS problem. You could try this command in DOS:

ipconfig /flushdns

If that doesn't work, type "ipconfig /all" in DOS and post the readout that it gives you on here. You could try pointing your PC to a different DNS server as well, but let's not get too hasty. Try my first suggestion and we can go from there. Someone else might have a better suggestion in the mean time.

Try using one of these DNS servers:

199.166.24.253 (PS0.NS1.VRX.NET) - Toronto, ON, Canada
199.166.27.253 (PS0.NS3.VRX.NET) - Richmond Hill, ON, Canada
199.166.28.10 (PS0.NS2.VRX.NET) - Apopka, Fl
199.166.29.3 (NL.PUBLIC.BASESERVERS.NET) - The Netherlands
199.166.31.3 (NS1.QUASAR.NET) - Orlando, FL, USA
195.117.6.25 (ZOLIBORZ.ELEKTRON.PL) - Poland
38.113.2.100 (NS1.JERKY.NET) - Boston, MA, USA
213.196.2.97 (PAN.BIJT.NET) - The Netherlands

If this doesn't work, then the problem definately isn't DNS; but this should work.

do I set this in my routers dns settings or just my computer?

Either will work.

Router will be better. so you dont have to set in to so many computers in your network. just once and done
