Still doesn't work. However, I pinged www.fatwallet.com and it resolves to 216.138.164.39, not .31 as you listed. I'm using OpenDNS for my DNS. I still think it's my ISP.
Oh, and the ping works just fine.

Well, it started working for me about 3 minutes ago on this PC. I changed my router's DNS listings to ATT (from OpenDSN) and did an ipconfig /renew on the PC but it still didn't work. I was running an adware scan and tried FW again and it now works. I'll check out the upstairs PC in a moment.
Thanks all!
:beer: to Zim.
I've always been curious why waiting X amount of time before powering back up is better than just a fast reset.Originally posted by: spidey07
1) Power down your providers modem and any gear connected.
2) Wait at least one minute, 5 minutes would be better
3) Power up provider modem
4) Wait at least one minute, 2-3 is better
5) Power up any device connected to modem, wait at least one minute
6) Test with one device or eliminate any SOHO gear
Yes it sounds stupid, yes it solve most all problems, yes there are reasons why this solves most all problems - timers and state machines. You MUST reset them all.

With networking there are state machines running at every OSI layer on every piece of equipment involved. In a steady state everything is good - but once there is a state change, especially at the physical layer and MAC layer things can get "not as expected".
Without getting into details communications/networking is meant to expect certain states. The transitions from every single piece of gear involved in this does it's best to follow standards.
Many times that just doesn't happen because software has bugs. By by waiting the times I described you FULLY CLEAR AND RESET all state machines not just on your own gear but many pieces of gear outside of your control.
Flipping thing on and off quickly is a bad thing in networking. It's not the memory, it is the state machines running and how every single piece interacts. Not to mention all the software running all these pieces.
