Hi sorry if this is answered elsewhere. This problem started yesterday when I tried to connect to google on my PC but the page could not be displayed. I tried other internet pages but had the same problem. I then tried my laptop but had the same problem.

Both were saying that they were connected but the dns server was unavailable. I am currently using OPENdns.

Any suggestions?

I am with eircom. I believe its a dns problem because when I go to the router setting it says that both primary and secondary servers are unavailable.
