DNS Lookup Failed - BT Internet

[CammyD]

Hey,

Currently having a problem with my internet - tried rebooting and all that but no luck on fixing this problem.

Reason I'm posting is because my ISP's customers support doesn't open for another 2 hours, might get a faster answer here.

Keep getting this error on every browser:

MSN/Skype etc all works fine, just browsers that don't work . Got the error randomly, wasn't messing about with anything. Happens on every webpage .

Anyone know how to fix this?

Currently stealing my neighbors internet at the moment.

Are you running a proxy program? If so, disable it.

Spyware/Maleware could of added a proxy setting;

Goto, Start, Control Panel

Internet Options >> Connections Tab

At the bottom, Local Area Network (LAN Settings)

Click on the button;

If: Automatically detect settings is 'Checked', Uncheck it.

Proxy server:

Probably enabled, remove any IPs and ports and uncheck all boxes you see in the proxy area.

Press, Ok.

Apply and Ok.

Try your browser.

Thanks Cory but it didn't fix the problem.

EDIT: Can a mod please close this, seemed to fix itself after a few hours .

Sounds like a DNS Issue or since you're in the UK - could of been a UK proxy, quite common.
