I have been having problems accessing website
www.123greetings.com, I contacted my ISP Verizon, DSL BroadBand Service, Tech Support. After doing some tests they found that my browser has difficulty recognizing URL addresses like
www.123greetings.com . the tech support rep. used the IP address for this website and was able to view it. She informed to contact my computer manufacturer for DNS issues.

Is Windows updated with all current critical updates?
Do you have current, real-time antivirus and firewall protection?
Have you scanned for and removed all spyware?
If the answer to any of the above is no, it's past time for a thorough security sweep of the system.

ejn63,
I have firewall protection and I also have antispyware software installed and antivirus, the Verizon Technician had me disable the firewall but not the antispyware software. I have my system set up to automatically install all critical windows updates. According to the virus protection scan I need an up to date program could that be the problem?

klbf,
How can I reset my DNS settings using the firewall or manual reset?

Mex_Carnal,
I turned off the firewall protection and set all the internet options to default, I still cannot access 123greetings.com. Is it possible that the Windows Firewall is causing the problem, I have the option to install a firewall from Mc Afee? What should I do?

Dear Bow Tie,
Presently that is the only website that I do not have access to, I cleared the cookies and still no access.
