| 775389 | 2009-05-20 05:40:00 | OK, it seems I can't seem to connect to any sites that I have never been to before, or haven't been to in ages. OK let me rephrase that If I press refresh 3 - 6 times I do eventually get to the page, and once I have got there I don't have any issues accessing the page again I get the standard message below Address Not Found www.noodle.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again. The browser could not find the host server for the provided address. * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of "www.mozilla.org") * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired. * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings. * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing. But if I press refresh 2-3 times the site comes up, I have tried flushing my ip cache thingie turning off Avira (my antivirus and firewall) Using various browsers using XP Orcon is my ISP |

| 775392 | 2009-05-20 06:27:00 | I had a similar fault a few weeks ago. Firefox & Zone Alarm were conflicting somehow. Firefox wouldn't load any sites after the initial home page. Googled. Got rid of Zone Alarm & installed Comodo. Problem gone. Do Avira have a firewall? |

| 775393 | 2009-05-20 06:59:00 | yes it has a firewall and webguard and the prob still occurs when they are both disabled | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 775394 | 2009-05-20 07:03:00 | Are you connecting via an Access point/switch? Try connecting directly to the modem |

| 775395 | 2009-05-20 07:11:00 | Ok i think i have solved it, I have changed my DNS settings, which were set to automtically get the dns sever address, and i manually keyed in one orcon dns address and one opendns address and so far it seems to be working, although there do appear to be some name servers down according to opendns Nameserver trace for badger.com: Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed e.root-servers.net. Looking for who is responsible for com and followed f.gtld-servers.net. Looking for who is responsible for badger.com and followed ns3-auth.aiinet.com. Nameservers for badger.com: ns1-auth.sprintlink.net returned (NORECORDS) ns2-auth.sprintlink.net returned (NORECORDS) ns3-auth.aiinet.com returned (SERVFAIL) |

| 775396 | 2009-05-20 07:12:00 | Are you connecting via an Access point/switch? Try connecting directly to the modem Yes i am connecting through a switch to the modem, didn't even think to do that, but if this prob crops up again I'll try it |
