Whenever I try to go to any websites like www.yahoo.com or www.hotmail.com it says that the sites cant be found. It does this for everysite execpt this site...and google. I get the "Page cannot be Displayed" error. Does anyone know why? I did not change any of the internet or firewall settings, and it was working fine eariler.
You gave us too little info about the prob; but what most probably is happening is that your DNS is not working correctly... I once had that problem (well in fact i had confugured it wrongly) and could only see a few sites.. Try contaction your ISP and ask him about the DNS dirs... Then compare this dirs with (if you are using windows XP) start/settings/contro panel/network connections/local area connection status/properties/internet protocol (TCP/IP)/properties where you'll find the DNS settings of your machine...

try pinging yahoo and see if you get a response. take note of the time if you get a response.
try going to the site using the ip address instead of the URL:
66.218.71.198
Ok...thanks I checked and my DNS was messed up somehow....thanks
