Dang.
My internet browser is not letting anything work except EggCave.
I use Google chrome.
Any suggestions of what I should do?

@whispers I'm a computer geek, but I have to go soon so I don't have time to think this through. X3 I don't know why, but once I lost my internet connection and it still let me go on Egg Cave O.o but my computer is a jacked up place so I don't know. XD What happens when you try to do something else?

@univea
This is what it said what I was trying to go to deviantart. It does the same for everything else.

"Oops! Google Chrome could not find _________"



________ is blank for the website name.
Then I refesh...

"This webpage is not available
The server at _________ can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network. "

@whispers If you have a different browser on your computer, use that to check and make sure that its not an ISP problem that is messing with the sites. If other sites will load in a browser other than Chrome, then you know the problem is with Chrome.

A DNS failure however, sounds like it might be something going on with your modem/ISP. The problem might be fixed by turning your modem off for a couple minutes then turning it back on.

@whispers that happened to me, I unplugged the modem and plugged it back in. try that.

@whispers - that happens to me too. A LOT. I think the internet connection is slow. Just like @univea said, try refreshing your modem buy turning it off and unplug it for a couple of minutes, And yah, that's what I do. ^-^

@snowrosehell
I did, 10 times.
I believe it's Google Chrome acting up.
I'm using Internet Explorer ATM, and it is working fine :/ So I think it's GC messing with me -_-

snowrosehell • 1 May 2012 at 11:22 PM

@whispers - Did you leave it off for like 15 minutes or longer? How about try scanning your computer with ya anti-virus? 😊
