[QUOTE="greyshade, post: 921902, member: 125878"] Hello, Some websites will timeout, or fail to load in both of my web browsers (safari/FireFox). The websites are in fact working because I can access them via my iPhone. This does not effect all websites, most of the larger websites seem to work. Though, I did a search on google and not 1 of the pages would load one the first search page would open (15 in a row!). I have searched repeatedly and found some helpful information. The main, and probably MOST frustrating issue, is that I cannot even open the sites that have possible fixes. Sounds like it is possibly a DNS issue, and not a program issue, because it effects every browser I have. So, I think there are fixes but I can't get on the websites to possibly download programs to help me out. Or read the proper fixes. Things I have tried thus far: -1. Reset router -2. Clear DNS -3. Flush DNS -4. Re-install both browsers -5. Clear cache on both browsers -6. Spy-ware removal tools -7. Ran onxy -8. Tried to use OpenDNS but I cannot even load the website -9. Came here to beg for help. Thanks all, I would really appreciate some help. And I hate to be picky but, like I said I probably will be unable to open a website that's linked outside of here. [/QUOTE]
