What's UP with this??!?!?

[Spooner]

Ok... so what's the dilly with my Internet connection? This is kind of tough to explain, so bear with me...

When I load up a page, I keep getting DNS errors saying it can't be found (like as if i wasn't connected)... but I'm connected to AIM just fine. What also's weird, is that if I keep typing in a bunch of different URL's, eventually it loads and I can access everything again..... almost like it needed to be "jump started" or something. It's been doing this like completely randomly for the past 2 days.

EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

Let me know if anyone's heard of anything this or if you need more description.

If you're on cable, read this.

I'm on Verizon's DSL.

Since it is a DNS problem you can try doing what Sir Fredrick suggests. I had exactly the same problem but it seems to be OK now.

I try to run ipconfig ...... but an msdos screen just flashes then goes away.......

am i an idiot? Am I missing a step?

I get the same thing when I try to run ipconfig in Win2K.

I did the same and the MS DOS box just go off.

Do not load Ipconfig from Run. Instead, load Command from Run and the run Ipconfig.

When I run NSlookup:


>
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 151.203.0.84: Timed out

*** Can't find server name for address 151.203.0.85: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 151.203.0.84

What do I do now?
