Some websites i cant access

[jahed]

hi,

last night i tried accessing facebook on firefox (also tried accessing on internet explorer) but i received an error page. i also tried accessing a few other websites which other people had no trouble in accessing.

today, i cleared the cookies and immediately i had access to the websites i couldn't get access to last night.

once i turned of my laptop and turned it on again, i experienced the same problem in not accessing certain websites. i again cleared the cookies but this time, nothing changes. i still cant access the websites.

can anyone plz give me a solution asap thanks.

btw im experiencing the same problem on my other computer. i updated my router (netgear) to see if that solves the problem but it doesnt.

Try clearing your DNS cache, or see if your ISP is having DNS issues. All my issues of connecting to certain sites on just my laptop have faded now.

[jahed]

i cleared my cache but dont know if my isp is having any dns problems. any other suggestions?

Hi Jahed, I recommend trying OpenDNS since it's usually more reliable than your ISP's DNS.

Click here to get started using it on your computer: https://www.opendns.com/start/computer/

It can be set up on your router too, so take a look around their website if you find OpenDNS is better. :)

or you can use
DNS1: 4.2.2.1
DNS2: 4.2.2.2
DNS3: 4.2.2.3
DNS4: 4.2.2.4

they're the level3 DNS and they're very fast (I'd say faster than opendns)

open your command prompts and type...
ipconfig /release
after you that runs,only takes a couple seconds and should get a message saying it was released. then type...
ipconfig /flushdns
the dns should send a message saying it is flushed. then type...
ipconfig /renew
that should renew your ip. clear all your cache, delete temporary internet files, delete cookies, adn hopefully that will get you back to normal. good luck.

hi thanks for your reply,

just wanted to ask, when i type in ipconfig/release, i get the following message:

the requested operation requires elevation.

what do i do?

[Darkonia]

Try using ultrasurf ; and see if your ISP is blocking Facebook.

Make sure you run command prompt as Administrator.

[jahed]

ok im done, but the problem hasnt been sorted yet. im so confused because the websites which i dont have access to is accessible at certain times of the day. i really dont know what the problem is or where it lies.

[bariteau]

have you tried from another PC?

space between the two words.

I've had this everytime I've reinstalled an OS, I honestly don't know what causes it, because other computers on the network will be fine even other OS' would be fine on the same computer I'm using, but MacOS or Windows had problems for me. It's only ever my laptop too, the desktops are fine. Even bought new routers and it was still the same. But giving it around 1-2 months they disappeared on their own accord.

[jahed]

have you tried from another PC?

so i have to renew the IP from my computer and my laptop because it is on the same network?

[Dynash]

Heres a few suggestions.

Do a through virus/spyware/adware scan with more than one program.
Check/Fix your registry.
Boot into safemode/Same applies with your browsers.
Check all firewalls on your PC, and on your router. check the settings there.
Also try installing support for IPV6 if you haven't.
Check your HOSTS file.

erm... thats all I can think of.

[tlchosting]

Goto sitesurf.net and try the sites here. If you can access them then it could be your router or your ISP also you can try dnsstuff.com

If by any chance, Ask.com Toolbar has been installed as an Add-On for Firefox, disable/uninstall it completely.

[liuxyon]

you can try use ipv6 network for visit.

[liuxyon]

or you can use
DNS1: 4.2.2.1
DNS2: 4.2.2.2
DNS3: 4.2.2.3
DNS4: 4.2.2.4

they're the level3 DNS and they're very fast (I'd say faster than opendns)

thanks. I can offer the 8.8.8.8 fast more. :beer:

Add 8.8.4.4 and you have my DNS server list!

What's the chance of 6 different DNS servers from going down right?

Try to clear Your DNS cache and also concern with your ISP.

[besthos-s-t]

Well its better to concern your ISP to solve the problem. Some days ago i cant access my university home page. I tried my best to solve the problem but i cant then i make a call to my ISP, their representative solve my problem, he made some changes in router setting. thanks to them everything is fine now. :)

I suspects, Is it something related to firewall.:confused4
