If you're connected to a router, make sure the router is picking up proper DNS settings that your ISP provides, or better yet change the DNS settings to:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Hello techsysnet,
1. Run this script to fix your connection. The script reinstall winsock, TCP/IP stack, and HOSTS file.
http://downloads.subratam.org/WinsockFix.zip
2. If no joy, clear your DNS cache. Go to Start > Run and type CMD
and hit OK. At the command prompt, type
ipconfig /flushDNS
and hit OK to apply.
3. Clear your cache. Go to Tools > Internet Options > General tab. Under Temporary Internet Files, click "Delete Files" button. Also click "Delete Cookies" button. Click OK.
4. If no joy, check if your PC is blocking the site. Do a search for HOSTS file and open it with an editor like Notepad. Delete any line that has the blocked site in it.
HOSTS file is located in
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVER
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS
It is a hidden file. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.
6. Check if antispyware, antivirus, or firewall is blocking the websites. Disable these programs one by one.
Hope this helps!
