520023 2007-01-28 18:13:00 Hi guys

Although my new wireless setup is going fine, I am experiencing a funny problem - when I want to access websites, I can open some (e.g. PF1, NZHerald) almost instantly, while some of the others - mostly ending with a .com but I did not check everything, will not open (e.g.www.Cricinfo.com, Yahoo, etc.) None of these sites are risky, I've been going there for years. Never a problem until now.

I'm flumoxed because surely it cannot be a Xtra network problem?

P3 1.7 WinXp Adventure Plan (old 10 G plan)

520024 2007-01-28 20:40:00 Probably is to be honest, most likely the DNS servers of Xtras

On your PC go Start --> Control Panel --> Network Connections --> then Right-click on your Local Area Network Connection & goto Properties
Click once on Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) & then click on Properties
Then tick Use the following DNS Server addresses and enter:
60.234.1.1
60.234.2.2

Give it a shot from there and see how you go. Post back with the results

Cheers

Did that, no change. Shouldn't I rather be changing the settings on the router/modem? Just asking as I have no idea.

520029 2007-01-29 06:33:00 Have you entered in the DNS IPs into the router configuration? If they are there, then try changing them like suggested. Jen (38)

?....you cant put DNS addy's into the router.....

Sounds like IE is screwed.......Do you have any 3rd party nanny software, firewalls etc.....something is blocking .com addy's

Can you ping microsoft.com from the command prompt?

520031 2007-01-29 07:59:00 ?....you cant put DNS addy's into the router..... I can on my ADSL modem/router (Dynalink RTA300). I assumed you could on other brands as well?? Jen (38)
520032 2007-01-29 08:02:00 Jen

Router changes - no effect

Pinging MS.com - says request timed out
