Sure. Good idea. DNS means Domain Name Server. It turns the computer id number into the name that you see. Google might be a number like 123.234.234 on the internet. The DNS turns the number into the human name Google and vice versa. Sometimes the entries can get corrupted in your computer.

Here’s what we’ll do:

1) From the Start menu choose Run...
2) Type cmd
3) Click “Run As Administrator” if possible
4) Type ipconfig /flushdns
5) Press Enter

Done.

You should get a positive response from the computer.

All your problems should be solved.

Just kidding. Maybe you should be able to get onto google. If not you may have to wait for hughesnet to get back to you because I have run out of ideas. Or the FReeper gurus arrive and get you out of this. We’ll see.

OK?

Thank you so much for your time. I probably have done this before, but, seeing I’m not a guru if you don’t do it all the time I forget how or why or whatever ect. I’ll wait and see if any of the puter gurus respond and if not I’ll give it a try.
