There are a couple of ways to fix that. Check out Google DNS.

Alternately you can find out your DNS Server by using the command prompt and typing in ipconfig /all. That should list your DNS Server address. Next manually enter one address from your service provider & one from either Google or one from someone that you know with a different Service provider (or one from your service provider but a different area of the country).

Check out Google DNS for directions.

Personally, I just use the Google addresses. But if they should fail I know to change back to Comcast.


Yeah, just as soon as Chris knew it was a DNS problem he changed the DNS servers on both our machines and we were back in business. Unfortunately, we didn't know that little piece of information until I had already submitted my school assignments the "hard way" using my phone.
