DNS has been dead on and off since about 7pm last night.

Changing your DNS temporarily to something like Google's 8.8.8.8 will resolve the issue.

Moved to the correct forum. Please think about this when starting threads.

Also check for existing threads on the subject. Please continue this discussion in the existing thread http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=151805

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
