Hello, SNURK!

Thank You for your effort, I really appreciate it.

Keep up the good work.

Like sekeRob said, could just switch to OpenDNS, or could use Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Or primary from OpenDNS and secondary from Google DNS (or vice versa).

If you're interested in a little more thorough troubleshooting, first thing you want to do is check your "hosts" file under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ to make sure that you don't have an entry that sends net78.net to 127.0.0.1 or something (or a bunch of bogus entries...typically your hosts file under Windows 7 - which a quick check suggests is your primary O/S - would only be a lot of remarks denoted by a leading "#" symbol). If you have a bunch of entries in there with no leading "#", then you might have a bot or be running an antivirus that redirects known malicious sites.

But the key thing is see if there is an entry for anything net78.net in your hosts file - there shouldn't be. If you find one, put the "#" without the quotation marks in front of the line, and save the hosts file.

Second thing you want to do is open a privileged command window (run as administrator) and type

ipconfig /flushdns

and then try again. If it still doesn't work, in that same command window type (the IP address on the line is the name server used)

nslookup www.sig.net78.net 208.67.220.123

nslookup www.sig.net78.net 8.8.8.8

nslookup www.sig.net78.net [Your ISP DNS IP addy]

The first two, at least, should resolve to the same IP address (31.170.162.103). If they do but your ISP gives something else back, then you definitely need to set static DNS server addresses in either whatever serves DHCP (your router, typically) on your network or on the systems themselves.

Hey Snurk,

I would be very happy if you could create me one of your wonderful signatures !

Many thanks

Could I please get one of those snazzy sigs?

Snurk, I asked for a signature in April but you still haven't posted a link to it yet (at least that I've seen), where is the love? :( Thanks!
