HN is down all right!  DOWN-RIGHT CA-RAAAAZY!




I don't know why I just said that.  It seems to be working fine for me.  My guess is "user error"...

Dude, I have no idea... what do you get when you try?  Is it just a typical 404 or are you getting some other kind of message?

Have you tried ipconfig /flushdns yet in a DOS prompt? It might help you in this case. It'll get rid of all those bad DNS entries.

I just did the IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS , now im IPCONFIG /REGISTERDNS seeing if that will do anything. when I did a IPCONFIG /ALL all entries of DNS were blank. I have this strong captian obvious feeling that those shouldn't be blank. Sorry about the huge size of the pictures. Should I try reseting my router to default, since it's all the computers that are connected to this router than are having the problem? I have a D-Link DI-614+, but isn't the IPCONFIG commands changing stuff on the router?

You can try setting your primary DNS server as 192.168.0.1 since it is your router. Just make sure that your router is using the correct DNS servers for your ISP, which it looks like it is since you can get to this place.

On your desktop, right click on "My Network Places", go down to "Properties", and then select your network connection. Another window will appear, and then click "Properties". Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and while it is selected, click on "Properties", and at the bottom you should see the place for the DNS information.

Just remember before you do anything to remember what is written down there in case something doesn't work out, you can enter in your old DNS servers.

I'm thinkin that if we don't hear back from him, he didn't write it down.

I was debating whether or not to put that warning before I gave the instructions on how to do it. Hopefully he read all of it before he actually did it. :oops:

Naw, I wrote them down. I followed the instructions but no change. I went into my router controlls and released/renewed as well. I take it this is a pretty odd problem? Would my ISP be at fault for this in any way?
