DNS Problems

[buddhad]

Hi,

I am having some problems connecting to certain websites.

Particularly, http://www.grisoft.com and http://www.lavasoft.de

When I try to connect to these sites I get an error saying "The page cannot be displayed." However, firends of mine have been able to connect to these sites with no problem.

I tried to use a utility called iCheckConnection, from PC Pitstop that would test my connection to a given website. When I run this tool it gives an error saying that DNS is not working properly.

I have contacted technical support at my ISP, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Any ideas on what may be causing this? Is there a problem with my PC or is this a problem with my isp?

Thanks

I should also mention that I am directly connected to my cable modem, so there is no router in between.

Also, my firewall is not blocking the site as I have attempted to connect to the sites with it disabled.

Thanks,

If you are using Win2K or XP, open a command prompt and type:

ipconfig/flushdns

Thanks for the reply glc. I ran that command, but there was no change.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
