Problems loading websites
I keep getting Page Cannot be Displayed (and Cannot find server or DNS
Error) errors seemingly at random. This started a few months ago. Using IE6, but same thing happens in Firefox. Sometimes, half the search results in Google don't work for me! Then if I try the same site later, the page might load. Any ideas? |

I think my ISP's DNS servers suck too much. Rick |

I do as my ISPs DNS servers are the pits so use instead others that are based here in the UK. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Ok thanks for replying. I can't find info on the web about how to do this. Right now in my NIC's TCP/IP properties, DNS is disabled. |
