More computer woes

[days_unfolding]

I'm having the same computer problem where IE and FireFox can't find or display Web sites. Oddly enough, I can sometimes read LJ, but can't usually read comments. This problem is especially frustrating because I need to make reservations for our trip to the Wine Country.

Hopefully the problem will go away like it did last time. I called Microsoft last time but they weren't much help.

Is it possible you have a firewall blocking your IPS's DNS servers? If you have a firewall it should have a log where you can see what it has blocked. You can perhaps check the timing of IPs blocked with your attempts to connect and then add the right IP addresses to your "safe list".

I don't have a firewall. I probably should have one, but I don't.

The intermittent nature of the problem is weird. The last time that I tried to log on, I couldn't get to a site except for my start page. This time around, I'm able to get to an LJ comments page.
