Networker

For the past 9 days, I have had no access to Google or Gmail from my home computer. And, I know it was a home computer issue, because the work laptop had no problems getting to the google sites.

I've spent the last week doing some reading in tech forums, as well as being part of anonline tech forum working with someone in Brisbane, Australia trying to help me.

Well, tonight, I finally figured it out. Even downloading Mozilla Firefox didn't help me get to google. But I found a Mozilla chat forum about the connection issue and read that it was a DNS issue.

I finally went to a DNS site that restored my host connections, and now, all is better now.

Islebehere - I know you're glad.
Euromutt - I know you're impressed.
Everyone else - just wallow in my impressive networking skills.

Well done! Tenacity can be rewarding.... nine days later. ; )

Was 'ipconfig /flushdns' the magic bullet?
