May I ask a question of anyone - I just sat down at my laptop to do a few things and the only site I can reach so far is FR. Nothing else. No gmail, no national weather service, Drudge, Breitbart, etc. I can mysterious access FR. Every other site I keep trying is not opening. Am I the only one this is happening to?
I get this message on Chrome:
This site can’t be reached
twitter.com’s server DNS address could not be found. Try: Checking the proxy, firewall, and DNS configuration Running Windows Network Diagnostics DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG
And this on Firefox:
Server not found
Firefox can’t find the server at forecast.weather.gov.
Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Okay, will turn modem on/off, and then computer on/off. If I can still access FR after all that, I report back. If I don’t report back, it all went black.
Okay, I did what you said. Nothing happened. I very like am not doing it right. I tried to do what taxcontrol suggested but didn’t see what I was supposed to see.
Obviously I am a serious techtard into the bargain.
Since that doesn’t open, does that mean all kinds of sites are down?
yer a dumbshit..../S LOL
You were able to open a command prompt? It is a DOS window?
Have you tried trouble shooting from network controls ?
ie:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center
I am use to doing a lot this in cmd but, these days Microsuck does a pretty good of resolving issues
Do you have any other devices such as a phone or a tablet that you can use to check your wifi signal.
I would whack my LAN settings after a bad disconnect from a VPN login to work.
control panel\internet options\connections
select LAN settings.
verify that proxy server is not checked.
not much....good luck
No.
It means you cannot see beyond your network and for some reason are hard locked to FR....
all other sites are available.
Just kidding.
I’m sure it’s frustrating and if I were sitting in front of your computer I would probably find the problem in a minute or two...
To everyone:
Thank you for advice.
I turned modem off and waited, and then on again.
That appeared to fix whatever it was.
I should be ashamed to bother people with this - but at the same time, through years of crappy and weird internet, I never had a situation where only Free Republic worked, and nothing else!
Thank you.
See if you can reach this site:

Sweet!!!
Let’s get back to maligning the left....
I opened something that said Command prompt, it was black. I do not know what a DOS window is.
I am not exaggerating by describing myself as a techtard, really I’m worse that that. Obviously.
Yeah!!!
I’m not having any problems.
Try clearing your browser cache.
Reset your router & reboot your computer.
nslookup should be part of the windows os. I don’t think I’ve added any unix add-ons.
Awesome you got it back.
I was wondering if the Russians got you too. Seems to be going around, lol.

Yes, although the latest Windows update has caused Edge to have a problem opening links in a new tab.
