Ok.. this is strange I have cable modem connection and I can get to most sites, but I cannot get to Oprano.com or purecash.com.

Any ideas ?

Are you in a Kinkos? B)

Probably the DNS of the Cable provider... we run into the same thing around here with certain sites... they seem to come and go....

Strange thing is, a couple of us have the same provider ( Comcast ) and we can ( cannot ) access different sites from each other...

Mike and Serge are trying to lock you out!! :P

Billy...

Like FB said, it is probably in your cable provider, but there is one thing you *might* can do to help it.

Click "Start", then "Run...", in the dialog box type "cmd" and hit "OK". You will get an old fashioned Command Prompt. At the prompt type the following and hit enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

This will flush your DNS resolver cache and might just fix it. If not, you can call your cable provider and beg/plead with them to flush their DNS....but it is probably not going to work :)

Well....truth be known I cut out one part of the email that I copied and pasted to the board.

The email was from one of my tech guys.

The part that I cut out was the part that said "Tell him to....."

Greg I remember YEARS ago calling Tony when we had a problem with a server.. I got worried when I heard him say "wheres the screwdriver" and the server was in another part of the city : )

You may also want to look at your hosts file.
Could be lmhosts, lmhosts.sam, or just hosts.
It should be in your windows/system windows/system32 or a sub folder of one of those directories.
It should also have an explanation and some examples in it.
