I've been getting that for almost every web page I've tried to open today. Sometimes I get a smart filter as well, whatever that is. I've asked my friend, who also lives here, if the websites work with her, she said they do. They don't work on my brother's laptop either.
Any idea what might be wrong with my internet/computer?
i got this problem a few days back. it was only temporary. for 1 day only (or could be less i don't know because i did not try again). so when i connected again the next day everything was fine. just wait a few hours and try again. if still not good then tomorrow. in the meantime you could scan your PC for any virus/spyware.
If DSL, then it means, your computer cannot resolve Hostnames, means, he cannot find the DNS Server.
Solutions:
If you have more compters in the house, check if none of them has entered an wrong DNS, or even gateway in the Network. Might confuse the other computers connected.
Check the DSL Router, if all settings are on Auto concerning DHCP and IP Settings
If you only have one computer connected, check also if your Network Connection has also all settings set on Dynamic, means Get IP/DNS automatically from DHCP Server
If nothing helps, then it might be a problem from the Internet-provider also. Maybe you should call up in that case.

Yeah, I'm using XP, and it's connected via a wire, although i'm sort of using wireless simultaneously, i think. I found the tcp/ip protocol, the dns server is set to automatic. Still isn't working.
I appreciate everyone's help, btw!

^Well that wont be the problem seeing as he has accessed the net before, a DNS error, most likely, in your circumstances is your internet provider, either they'll fix it, or you'll have to call them...
No, the firewall is disabled and the antivirus isn't a problem.
I just tried that, still not working.
I tried googling the problem and found this.
I did it, and it worked for one of the sites I was having trouble with, but the other one is still not working. If I used that method, do you know how I can solve it?
I thought that as well at first too, but I asked some of my friends who live here to try the same website I'm having trouble with, and they accessed it just fine, so I'm thinking it's just me.
Those links are absolutely great!! Thank you!
