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.
Thanks to all suggestions. I’m copying for future reference.
Got it straightened out last night but still have no clue why I could get not one site except FR! If I can only have one, that’s the best one to have. :-)
The weird thing was my wifi button said I had internet, modem said I had internet, and I could get FR, but nothing else. A new one to me!
