Browser/dns problems.
« on: March 10, 2007, 07:33:26 AM »
Hello,
I would like to start by saying that I'm by no means computer illiterate. I simply cannot fix this problem.

When I navigate to www.anywebsite.com I recieve the error "Firefox can't find the server at www.site.com" but here's the tricky part. The website works if I try it 5 or more times. The reason I believe it's a DNS issue is that if I was to find out the dns of "<x>" website and use that in my web browser it would work perfectly on my first attempt. I'm running windows xp.
