My windows vista had me download 3 updates today. Told me they where "Important" one was called Vista Service Pack 2.
After downloading them I can not get to any web pages except Free Republic.
I am guessing its a DNS problem but Free Republic must be a SuperPage. It's faster then a speeding vista problem, able to leap DNS problems with a single bound,etc,etc.
Ain’t it awesome? ;)
There are other web pages?
Maybe somethings up with the Internet ... I can only get a small selection of the usual sites I go to, but fortunately Free Republic is one of them.
Try using OpenDNS. I've found that ISP's default DNS servers are hopelessly overloaded.
Vista 64 bit here.
No problems .. so far
I have the same problem at the moment. Can get on a few sites only.
All that means is that Homeland Security has got a specific wire tap warrant specifically for your postings on free republic. Post away.
me too..any suggestion or reasons?

Can you use OpenDNS if your pc is on a home network and using a usb adaptor to connect to the other pc’s router?
I still can’t upgrade to SP1. Every time it downloads, it crashes. Sony of no help. (I have a VAIO VGC-LT15E)
From time to time, we have cable issues and the repairs put the system down. Usually the call to our cable provider provides the answer and a time frame until usual service resumes. Might be the same with your ISP, but as I am in California, it would be very interesting if this is affecting a larger area.
whats happening, some 9/11 virus?
I feel your pain. :)
My computer has Vista also. It couldn’t completely load ANY webpage and if I had more than 2 tabs open it couldn’t download anything. I didn’t know if it was the new version of Mozilla or the “crucial” Vista updates.
Anyway, last Friday I lost my temper and beat the crap out of it...destroyed the hard drive and broke the motherboard in half.
Now I’m using a 10 yo laptop that I downloaded Safari on and it’s working surprisingly well.
I am working on older Dell with windows xp.
This has been happening to my home connection for the last week. I figure a backbone router is crapping out somewhere. No one at the ISP seems to have a clue that there’s even a problem though.
You guys have no idea how good it feels to know I am the only one. That means I can stop trying to fix my computer and just wait for whoever to fix the net.
I think it's just the opposite ... it's a simple site without all the insane gizmos.
The quickest fix for Windoze Vista is a fire axe.
I’ve got TimeWarner cable, in So.Cal.
Yahoo, Google, AOL, & Bing, among other sites, aren’t available.
