Lenovo site will not load

#1 Post by mesament » Fri Sep 15, 2006 3:59 pm

I now have 2 thinkpads (T42p and Z61t) that overnight could not load certain web sites, like my bank site and the Lenovo web site. I have searched all over the internet and microsoft and have not found a solution. On the T42 it happens everytime I upgrade the wireless driver and access connections to the new version. The z61t was working with the new software but I wonder if a MS update snuck in and broke something. Anyone else experience a similar problem?

I'm not sure if this will help, but you could try opening up a DOS window and typing:
ipconfig /flushdns

I've had this happen once before and I could access one website. Turns out it somehow got a bad DNS entry and the flushdns cleared it up. It's hard to believe it would happen on 2 computers though, but it's worth a try.

maybe your router firewall is blocking port 443, https :?

probably spyware.
