 Hey Cap, I just got back to my apartment after being at home for a few days. I load up my laptop and I get a DNS error on pretty much any website that I try to load.... Any ideas as to how I can fix it?
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
'Till they reach the sky,
And like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortunes always hiding,
I've looked everywhere.
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the aïr.

 I love this Opendns.com thing.

You can set it up either in your PC or if you're using a router, then set it up in your router. It's really easy to do.

 really? ok, it's really easy. If your'e using a router, then go into your router's settings and find the place where it lets you specify the DNS.. In my router it's in the Basic setup area.

Put in these:
Primary 208.67.222.222
Secondary 208.67.220.220

If you're ok after that, you can then go to opendns.com and make an account, and it lets you change settings.

 Rebooting your entire network should help too, or you could try simply clearing your computer's DNS cache. You may want to do that anyways.

Start>>Run>>cmd

in the MSDOS screen, type ipconfig/flushdns and hit enter.

 you tried the ipconfig/flushdns?

actually you don't even neeed to make an account at Opendns. You just put those numbers in your primary and secondary DNS.

 I dunno. Different IP address, the DNS trying to resolve what's in your computer's cache from when you were on a different IP address with a Different DNS may have been screwing it up.

What fixed it? Did it fix itself or was it something you did?

 sweet. Well you may want to check out opendns.com and make an account there anyways. that way you can do some other neat things, like block sites and stuff like that.
