Any ideas why some sites eg national lottery, argos, screwfix are not working but others are fine, eg bbc, freeola, ebay. This started yesterday morning but has happened before and it was the same pattern then - it cleared up after a couple of days. I have no installed anything new or changed any settings and it happens on both my computers.
I can see you have a Freeola connection so it might be worth giving us a call or opening a ticket.
You should be able to check what DNS you PC is using (assuming Windows) by opening up a command prompt and issuing the command:
at the '>' prompt type any of the web addresses are having problems with.
Also in a new command prompt you can try:
If you use a router then please check the connection settings to ensure you are using the correct DNS servers. These should be 195.74.113.58 and 195.74.113.62.

Hi notsowise and welcome to the forums!
That sounds like a possible routing/dns issue somewhere along the line.
It's not something I've experienced but if you post back when the problem is occurring for you I'll check to see if I'm effected.
I take it you are using the default Freeola DNS addresses and not overriding things?
NB. You may have to raise a support ticket if a staffie doesn't pick this up.
