    Having problem connecting to som sites only.
    No problem connecting to boards but can't get onto ebay, my emails and some other sites.
    Not only is this happening on my laptop but my phone aswell.
    Both using wifi.
    I have reset my router and still the same.
    Also I was in someone else's house last night and i was having the problem on my phone.

    Have you any filtering software on your computer? What DNS servers are you using? Try manually specifying the google DNS addresses: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

    what isp have you got? eircom's dns servers often get hit by ddos attacks

    i use google's dns servers

    primary dns server = 8.8.8.8
    secondary dns server = 8.8.4.4


    to change your dns settings

    open your network properties:

    Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Network and Sharing Center

    then choose "change adapater settings"

    then highlight your network connection and right click then choose properties

    then highlight the internet protocol ending with (tcp/ipv4) and choose properties

    then under dns server address choose to enter them manually

    enter these numbers

    preferred dns server = 8.8.8.8
    alternate dns server = 8.8.4.4

    apply and restart your network connection
