The inability to open a website by name usually indicates a DNS (Domain Name System) problem. DNS is the service that converts the website URL, i.e. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/how-to-dns-fix,review-113.html www.yahoo.com into the IP address that is needed for actual communication. A quick way to test this is to try to access the problem website via its IP address instead of its name. You can find a website’s IP address by opening a Windows MS-DOS or Command prompt and typing dns error ping, followed by the website domain you are trying to reach (don’t type the www, though). Here’s an example using google.com : C :\Windows>ping google.com Pinging google.com [216.239.51.100] with 32 Bytes of data : Reply from 216.239.51.100 : Bytes=32 time=267ms TTL=242 Reply from 216.239.51.100 : Bytes=32 time=261ms TTL=242 Reply from 216.239.51.100 : Bytes=32 time=256ms TTL=242 Reply cannot find server from 216.239.51.100 : Bytes=32 time=252ms TTL=242 Ping statistics for 216.239.51.100 : Packets : Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds : Minimum = 252ms, Maximum = 267ms, Average = 259ms You can see that 216.239.51.100 is google.com’s IP address, so now enter http://216.239.51.100/ into your web browser’s address or location box. If the website comes up, you’ve got a DNS problem. Fixing DNS The most common cause of the behavior described above is incorrect DNS settings in your computer’s TCP/IP properties. This typically happens after installing a hardwarerouter or Internet Sharing software like Windows’ Internet Connection Sharing feature. If your computer had its TCP/IP properties set manually (statically), you’re likely to have DNS-related problems. The reason for the problem is that sharing devices (and programs) usually like to handle DNS duties as part of their sharing functions, and need to have computers th
