MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 22315 Loc: Moreton/Beirut/Mobile	Have you tried rebooting the router and computer? To reboot the router, simply turn the power off to it for10 - 15 seconds and then restart. Sometimes it can take 2 attempts to flush the DNS. What is the ISP? They could be having DNS issues, so you could be worth givin them a ring to double check, before spending a couple of hours trying to fix it, only to find it was a network issue on their side. _________________________ My Facebook \| My Photography Website \| Ride TH13TEEN \| My LinkedIn \| My Twitter

MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 22315 Loc: Moreton/Beirut/Mobile	Well according to Sky's service status page, there is no issues at present; however there is reports on Sky User of people suffering various DNS issues. So could be a Sky problem, have you managed to speak to them yet, or are you still in a queue? _________________________ My Facebook \| My Photography Website \| Ride TH13TEEN \| My LinkedIn \| My Twitter

You could possibly change the routers DNS servers to OpenDNS, if you know the model, we can advise how. _________________________ My Facebook \| My Photography Website \| Ride TH13TEEN \| My LinkedIn \| My Twitter
