can not find server problem......internet

[Denvers Dawgs]

I'm using IE 6.0.2800. Today I have had this wierd problem. I can get on some sites but not others. It's totally driving me nuts. I can get on sites like excite, hotmail, this one, and others. But I can't get on Ask.com, my locla weather station, dogpile, and I am even unable to get on my routers webpage....and many others. what could be causing this insane problem?

Doesn't sound like it's on your side. More than likely, there's a bad router on the internet on your path to Ask.Com. You can rule out DNS server problems by entering http://65.214.39.7


I just did a Tracert to ASK.COM and discovered a bad router along the path. I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

You can also download http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/winmtr_bin.zip

That will show you the bad router along your path.

yeah but what about the 20 other sites i tried that don't work....most of them are from my favorites. half of them work half don't?

Your link worked and ask poppped up. but if I type ask in , no server found?

FUSTRATING!!

AHA ! Sounds like the DNS server is having problems resolving.

In THAT case, under your network settings, add the following address to your list of DNS servers (it's in TCP/IP config)


4.2.2.2



That's a very fast DNS server out there. It should help.

The problem is I can't even get on the router page to change or see settings

You've obviously rebooted your router and PC ?
