    Been trying to open http://www.mozilla.org/ for awhile and keep getting "Page Load Error" address can't be found. I'm using FF3 and have also tried IE. I've also tried my other laptops and the same thing. Any ideas of whats up here?

    Works for me in FF3 with utv. Try pinging 63.245.213.14 (mozilla.org's ip) and see does that go through ok. If it does look for a dns problem.

    Yes it pings no problem with no packets lost. Why just this site and how do I look for a dns problem?

    Thank you

    Nope, that doesn't work. I've tried the 3 laptops in the house and it doesn't work.

    change your dns servers to opendns.com details perhaps:
    Our nameservers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

    Start->Control Panel->Network Connections->Right Click your internet connection->Scroll down the list in the pop up to Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and double click-> Insert custom DNS

    Thanks guys. This worked for me ;)

    Any ideas why this happened at all :confused: I've always had DNS on automatic without any troubles.

    Temporary glitch in the system, it happens. When your ISP update their tables, it'll be fine.
