Weird internet problem

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Weird internet problem

This is strange. My internet appears to be working fine, but when I try to acccess 2 of the sites in my links, I instantly get the "page cannot be displayed" page. Pinging them shows my requests timing out, but I've confirmed with others that the sites are up and fine. I checked my hosts file too, and nothing is awry there.

Any idea what this could be or what else I can do to help diagnose the problem? I ran the usual anti-spyware programs and nothing is turning up, either.

Almost certainly a DNS problem. Wait a bit, then try again.

I use OpenDNS, because my ISP DNS servers are apparently hamster-powered.

Aye, gotta be a DNS problem.

Switched recently to Sky myself which was a nightmare but that's another story...
