DNS servers?
My home cablemodem connection suddenly stopped resolving URLs, other than FlyerTalk (and the marketing homepage for my cable provider), which I was browsing when it went out. Is there some public DNS server address I can plug into IBM's AccessConnections? If so, please post a suitable DNS address.

Thanks

Is it just one comp or multiple comps?

If it's just one comp, d'you try flushing DNS?
start>run>cmd
type: ipconfig /flushdns
press [enter]

Multiple. I presume my ISPs DNS server went down for a bit, but FT's address was in the cache, so I could access this site.
