Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere -- searching hasn't yet solved my problem... Also sorry if this is in the wrong section.
My problem:
I'm using a laptop computer on a home wireless network and for quite some time now a number of websites don't load. Firefox displays an "Unable to Connect" page saying that "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ____"
Internet Explorer says "Oops! This link appears broken. DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found."
This has been getting somewhat problematic.
The pieces of the puzzle that I know:
■A desktop connected with a wired connection through the same router can access the same site with no problems.
■Likewise, an iPhone connected to the same wireless connection has no problems at all.
■The hosts file on the problem computer is clean.
■Flushing the DNS doesn't fix the problem.
■Reducing the MTU doesn't fix the problem.
■Resetting the router, modem, and computer don't fix the problem.
I would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to offer!
Thanks much --
