What is this? I keep trying to access a website that I go to and I get a message that says that the DNS server might be experiencing problems. I hit the next button and then it says that my DNS server might be unavailable. Nothing has changed here at the house. Any information about this would be great. Thanks. :)
 
Make sure in your router your dns is set to 192.168.x.x (router ip adress) if you don't know your providers actual dns address.
 
That error is a red herring and rarely means there are DNS issues. Usually it is your connection to the Internet. Are you wireless?
 
Hmm. It seems to be working fine now. Thank you everybody for the replies. :)
 
Most likely their site was down or forgot to pay their bill for hosting and in such cases websites can be temporary suspended and will produce such results when pulled under suspension.
