Default Unusual internet problem

I can not access any webpages, except two plus two.

I can also connect to pokerstars (to play, but not the webpage).

Any ideas?

I figured it was a premissions issue but didn't notice anything wierd there. Tried reinstalling my modem, same.

It happened when my wife was on a moversguide.usps.gov website (this one also works). I opened twoplustwo, closed the site, and there you have it.

Neither Party or Wsex connect.

This has happened to me before. I think I was told it was a DNS problem or something... Long story short I could only connect to sites that I had very recently connected to. Did you restart your router?

Mine fixed itself after an hour or so.

Explorer...tried Mozilla same problem.

Also, I'm on a network and the other cpu connects to the internet fine. Tried switching the lan cables, but that didn't work either. Tried run "ipconfig". It poped up and closed again before I could see it. I'll try a print screen [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I think the DNS thing is probably right...but I have no idea.

This makes me feel a lot better. I'll try contacting my cable people and try it again after that. I was hoping it wasn't cpu based. I restarted my router about 4 times already though, but the cable people can send some kinda signal through to reconnect things I think.

Thank you.

alright, two things here:

1) to run ipconfig, run "cmd" first, then type ipconfig

2) i dunno how computer savvy you are, but are you familiar with what a DMZ Host is?

Tried it, it 'successful flushed dns revolver' but it still didn't work. I'll try contacting the cable people. It's just real wierd. prtsc of my ipconfig, configs are normal.

Maybe your internet tubes are clogged. Did you send any email today?

Ah...forgot about the cmd (I'm not that computer savvy). I don't know what the dmz host is.

tried ping. It gave me some options, I'm picking a few. They are like "ping [-t]".
