DNS Issue

Can't load my site

[fashezee]

I've spent the past 4 hours trying to troubleshoot this problem:

I cannot access site: abc.com / xyz.com; however, I can access all other sites. Others have tested with the same the ISP and even different ISPs and everyone could load the sites?
Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm on a wireless connection.

Flush your DNS/ARP chache. On Windows XP this is done via "ipconfig /flushdns" on the command prompt.

Thanks Tips!

But that didn't do much. I'm on a wireless connection with it being password protected; could this be the issue?

What is the worse that can happen with an unprotected wireless connection?

Either your computer or your proxy is caching the DNS results, keep flushing them using ipconfig /flushdns or by rebooting your router until it grabs new names.

It can take multiple attempts, happened to me this weekend.

Also, your ISP might be caching the results, but they only usually keep them for a few hours. Keep trying and it should sort itself out.
