I added to my Afrihost capped account and checked that the additional gigs showed on the Afrihost control panel. Then changed my router setup to the Afrihost account. Now all non-Afrihost sites return http://adsl-account-is-locked.afrihost.co.za/index.html??

What is going on? I have the Afrihost invoice for new bandwidth in my inbox and no internet access. Come on guys!

I've had to go back to my old Axxess account to post this :cry:
 
Restart your router and clear your DNS cache on your PC by running: ipconfig /flushdns

If you still get that error, then you'll have to speak to Afrihost.
 
Thanks all, the problem is sorted.

@Pada - Is there a similar command on Ubuntu? I tried ifconfig /flushdns, but it doesn't seem to be a valid option.

Quick google shows that you need to install the Name Server Cache Daemon (nscd). To flush cache, in a terminal use:
sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart
