Answer #6
no uk. its not the porn or warez sites there ok, lol just a few sites one of wich is ebay cant accsess and even itsdownforme
Answer #7
When you say you can access the sites via a laptop, is that using the same internet connection ?
If not, then it’s more than likely your ISP’s DNS server. You could try changing to another UK ISP’s DNS to see if it makes any difference, although Google’s is probably just as good.
Here’s my ISP’s current DNS servers, pretty decent at the moment (Bethere)
Primary DNS: 87.194.0.51
Secondary DNS: 87.194.0.52
Tertiary DNS: 87.194.0.66
Additional DNS: 87.194.0.67
There’s plenty here to try…

*edit – also have a look at your HOSTS file, and see if anything unusual has been added, perhaps you have some malware ?
\Windows\System 32\Drivers\Etc (open with Notepad)

cool.
You didn’t state what ISP you are using, but see if they have alternative DNS servers. You will probably be able to change back in a few days when they have their act sorted out.
