    Hi all, For some reason I cant access Boards on my Smart telecom connection since today. When I try to access boards it says "Google chrome cannot find the page". Anyone having similar problem? On a friends connection to post this.

    Have you tried another browser? Could be a chrome brain fart.

    Maybe smart have blocked boards because there have been so many people complaining about how crap they are on here?

    Best solution? Ditch smart, get magnet or upc.

    Can you even ping boards.ie? Are any other sites experiencing problems with your connection?

    Then try ipconfig /flushdns to empty your DNS cache lookup in case it's gone funny. After that you may want to try a different DNS server to test such as Google' at 8.8.8.8

    Changing your DNS to OpenDNS or Google equivalent might've sorted it out.
