    « on: January 06, 2010, 11:29:26 AM »
    Hi guys :) Im having problems on the internet since using Opera for about 3-4 days, then i started  getting dns problems when i diagnosed my connection it said " Windows can not find well known host www.Microsoft.com DNS server may be down, I did delete opera and went back to using Mozilla Firefox and the same thing happens after 3 days, And i run cmd it says Server: Unknown.

    Other people have had similar problems. It does not seem to be anything you can fix on your end. It may t be that ytou local ISP is not renting enough bandwidth. Contact them and say you are gowning to drop the contract if they do not fix the problem soon.
    Are you  on Dial Up, DSL or Cable?
    Check with a friend or neighbor and see if they have the same problem.

          Restart the modem and router if you have both...
          Wait 5 minutes...re-boot and see what happens.
