Thread: Plz Help - browsing problem

i am facing a strange problem. i am not able to browse most websites. i tried in IE and Google chrome. i am only able to browse a few sites like yahoo, rediff, google and some other sites. most other websites are not getting displayed.

i get the default "page cannot be displayed" error of the browser

torrent downloads and voice chat via skype are working fine.

is this a problem with my connection? plz help

Please try Open DNS



Local area connection > properties > TCP/IP > Properties > DNS

well, i havent changed any such setting and everything used to work fine until a few days ago.

how can i know my DNS address? i checked it. both ip and dns are set to "obtain automatically"

Select the manual input option and enter these values. Try after saving the DNS. Your current DNS value is BSNL DNS and it shows similar problems at times.

You can always revert to your present state by selecting the automatic option.

which values are you asking to enter? the ones in your image?

Yes. 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

it worked.all sites are opening now.thanks a lot for the instant solution.

i wonder why this problem happened.i never changed any setting

The DNS you were using all this while must have been down or something... its best to use open dns.

Welcome

It happens at times with BSNL DNS.

It was not your fault. This has been a common issue with BSNL DNS numbers. As meetdilip showed you, keep using the new settings and you will not have this kind of issue in the future.
