explorer

done, google w

Something isn't right then.  What are the two IP addresses?

sorry, google always works fine, i tried www.next.co.uk which gave me the correct name 1 ip address and no alias.

Thanks

Those IP addresses worked for me with no problem.  Here's how to enter those IP addresses.

i tried this and it states the ip adresses are not valid.

92.31.241.20 & 92.31.241.21

Are you experiencing the issue right now?  If so, go to the command prompt again and type "nslookup serverthatisfailing".  For example, if you're having a problem with www.google.com being displayed in Internet Explorer, then type "nslookup www.google.com". 

Make sure that you don't see a message such as "can't find www.google.com: Non-existent domain"

You want to see something like the following:

Name:    www.l.google.com
Addresses:  66.102.9.103, 66.102.9.99, 66.102.9.105, 66.102.9.104
          66.102.9.147
Aliases:  www.google.com

I don't know the normal way to get to where I need you to be in Windows 7 but I know you can get there by going to the Start Menu, click Run, and then in that box type "ncpa.cpl" and press enter.  That should open up "Network Connections".  From there, follow these instructions:

1. Right-click the network connection that you use, and then click Properties.
2. On the General tab (for a local area connection), or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
3. Click Use the following DNS server addresses, and then type the preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server IP addresses in the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server boxes.  Use the DNS Server IP addresses that I had you write down previously.

Is windows 7 slightly different

i cant seem to get that screen up

i have to go into my network map to get my router then there isnt a general/network tab

thanks for that tried it but still no change.

Do you possibly have some kind of parental controls setup on your firewall or on your Windows system?

If not, what do you think about trying Google Chrome or Firefox?  I personally prefer Google Chrome.  It's a fast web browser.

just chec

just tried parental controls they seem ok,

dowloaded chrome, still no change.

Are the parental controls completely disabled?
