I have this strange issue.

 

I've been with orcon for nearly 2 years.

 

There are times where a particular website which will not load.

 

The sites are random. It consists of facebook, google, ebay , paypal,pcworld etc.

 

When the sites are unreachable , IE, Opera and Chrome would say page cannot be displayed or dns address could not be found.

 

At first when the problem appears I could still access it thru IE and the problem would go away after half an hour or an hour.

 

Other times I would restart my modem and it would work fine.

 

But now it appears even with a reboot IE, Opera and Chrome fails to load the site.

 

Tonight facebook isn't loading.

 

Tomorrow it might be google.

 

The day after might be paypal.

 

Anyone have a clue what this could be?

 

 

 

Thanks

Try turning off "DNS Proxy" on your router IMO

After you do it, you need to disconnect / reconnect your devices to pick up the correct DNS servers from DHCP ;)
