    DNS is down

    type cmd in the seach box and press shift-ctrl-enter
    you should have a black administrator command prompt box - should say this on the top of the windows

    then type
    ipconfig /flushdns

    and restart the dns client service (or just reboot)

    Firefox, God bless it's little cotton socks, works because it has it's own DNS cache.


    An interesting little problem , if only because DNS problems would be a showstopper on many corporate networks.
