Internet problem..little help???

[TC2]

My internet has been acting screwy since yesterday.

I can access most sites(this one obviously) but sites like www.msn.com and microsoft's sites won't load.

It"ll say web site loading then go the the error screen. Also windows and yahoo messenger won't log in either.

I have 2 computers, DSL and a router. Both computers are experiencing the same problem.

I can understand If I somehow screwed up some settings on my main cpu(didn't do anything different though), but both cpus should'nt be messed up.

What gives, could my isp(verizon) just be having problems??

If so why would I be able to connect at all??

if you can access some sites but not all, either your ISP has blocked those sites or the DNS server you're using is having issues.

try using the "tracert www.msn.com" command

6 hops then timed out and I have no clue what the numbers mean(besides ip addys)

Or start with a "Ping www.msn.com" and see if it Pongs.

packets sent=4 received=0 lost=4 (100% lost)

 

[the nature boy]

try this

run "nslookup"

then type www.msn.com

non-authoritative answer:
Name : www.msn.com
addresses: 4 or 5 ips

 

[the nature boy]

ok, try pinging each one and see what happens

this is very strange

Searching with google is screwed up to half work, half don't.

Thank god porn searches don't seem to be affected.

wtf? you need to call your ISP and see what the problem is. it's not your problem I can tell you that. that's all you can do.

 

[TC2]

OMG!!!!

My porn!!!

This blows, guess I'll have to call them 50 times now and each person I talk to will tell me something different like always.


Fuck... well Karma to you for your help sir.

When did this start ?
Any changes to your machine or ISP ?

Have your tried doing an Net IPrelease or refresh( I think thats it)
This should refresh the DHCP stuff including the DNS entries.

 

[the nature boy]

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Try pinging
207.68.171.244, 207.68.171.245, 207.68.171.247, 207.68.172.234

thoss are msn.com addys, see if it's just dns hosed up.

 

[the nature boy]

I still think it's a routing problem with his ISP somewhere.

207.68.171.244, 207.68.171.245, 207.68.171.247, 207.68.172.234

Started yesterday, didn't change anything. Tried the release renew thing and no go.

Doesn't make sense that some are screwed up and some are not.

Kazaa works, but no email works hotmail, yahoo.

Doh, didn't see that. nm.

 

[TC2]

DSL modem reset check
Router reset ...check
internet connection config...check
network conn.....check
restart both machines..check
DNS,ipconfig,ping,tracert..check
hurt hand after punching wall...check

Screw it I'll have to call verizon.

Thanks anyways.

Do you own a shotgun ?

 

[Y_lifter]

Are you able to connect to www.Elitefitness.com ?

MSN pages have problems with some browsers - most notably Opera but even some versions of Internet Explorer.

yeah but if he can't ping those websites then it's not a browser issue.
