Title: what the hell is wrong with my internet connection?!
Post by: cloudwalking on October 08, 2007, 03:02:22 PM
so i'm having that fucking weird problem that people have reported many times before where only some websites/services work, and others don't. obviously i can get to evilbore and a few others, but gaf, lj, flickr, and last.fm are no-go. also i can't get on aim, skype, or ventrilo.

so how do i fix this? :'(

i used to have this every now and then in the past--and i'd just unplug my cable modem, and replug it after a while, and finally restard the cimputer. it probably reset the settings or something. you could try that out.

ok, tried the dns thing and it didn't work. :-\

i also tried restarting the router and the computer numerous times. nothing!

could this be some sort of weird ISP-related thing? it seems to have only kicked in a few hours ago.

yeah these DNS issues are mega-frustrating, I could only download at like 2 KB/s from Gametrailers for the longest time and sometimes wasn't able to access my uni's web-based e-mail service

so I used myproxybrowser.com to download the stuff and read the e-mails, maybe you could use such a site to access the non-working sites in the meantime

Does http://87.117.229.100 work? (Last.fm's IP)

I wouldn't trust a site like that with any information like my email password and stuff though. You never know if they keep logs or stuff like that.
