Help!!

Post by mikeinkc »

I have Sprint dsl. My problem just started happening yesterday. I can`t reach some of my usual websites. Getting a Dns error message. The sites are up and running, I just all of a sudden can`t log on. I had numerous friends check with their computers to make sure the problem wasn`t with the sites. I haven`t changed any settings. Firewall off . Help !!! :cry:

Well, I tried dial-up and I can now log onto the sites. Administrator of the website assured me I wasn`t banned or anything. Why all of a sudden would my dsl stop working for those sites but dial-up will???? Anyone got a theory??? Sprint says it must be my computer or the website. Well I replaced the computer, same problem. Tried dial-up, got on. Sounds like Sprint dsl to me !! :irate:

I've seen this complaint before on here from Sprint DSL about not being able to access some sites.. in which it was sprints fault.
