    Hey guys,

    Im having trouble with some websites such as youtube.

    They are taking really long to load and I dont know if they are still coming up at all, boards is working fine and a lot of others.

    Tried checking my speed on www.speedtest.net but the main picture on the page doesnt load up. Did I miss a download or something for internet explorer?

    I'd really like some help, tell me what other information would be helpful to solve this.

    Thanks.

    Try downloading the latest version of IE. Also reset it to default.

    Or download another browser like Firefox and use that for a day. If you have the same issues in FF and IE it's a computer issue, maybe java.

    Just downloaded Java, seems to be working now although when I went to verify it on the java website the window didnt respond. But youtube is working, so it must have worked.

    Thanks.

    sounds like either a dns or routing issue.

    try flush the dns resolver cache:

    try opening a dos prompt too...

    (start > run > cmd)

    type in :
    ipconfig /flushdns
    then press enter

    then type:
    ipconfig /registerdns
    then press enter

    and try browse again.
