Cruising the web today and started having issues connecting to sites. I am using Firefox 3.5.7 on a windows 64 bit XP system. For instance, connecting to Foxnews.com has a never ending page load and is not isolated to just foxnews. The only site that has worked consistently is AR15.com. Only things I could think of to do to resolve the issue is clearing the cache and rebooting. Any other ideas? ETA: The really odd thing is facebook will not load from my bookmark location but if I click on a link from an external application (mail) it loads just fine. |

Hedonist, thanks for the help. The DNS reset did not work unfortunately. I attempted it twice with a system reboot once and a full power down for a few minutes. No routers to reset. I am on a USB data connection. I just dont understand why AR15.com loads perfectly normal and most anything else I try does not. Any further ideas? |

This has happened to many of us in the past, and usually a reset of equipment, a repair of internet connection, or a power on/off fixes it. Something may have infected your system somehow, or corruption of your TCPIP configuration may have occurred. At least you have ARFCOM. |

Run nslookup, at the prompt enter some sites you can not get to. Please post the response. example below: C:\>nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Non-existent domain *** Default servers are not available Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.2.1 > www.symantec.com Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.2.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: a568.d.akamai.net Addresses: 64.208.249.56, 64.208.249.42, 64.208.249.32, 64.208.249.57 64.208.249.41, 64.208.249.49, 64.208.249.50, 64.208.249.18, 64.208.249 .48 Aliases: www.symantec.com, www.symantec.d4p.net symantec.georedirector.akadns.net > exit C:\> |

I cant copy out of the 'run' window, and cannot upload any screen shots. Pings to google, ar15.com, facebook, and foxnews all get similar results. I am 99% certain it is my ISP giving me issues as a few friends in the area with the same ISP cant access the same sites. Thank you all for the help. Learned a little more about figuring out what is going on. |
