Thanks PsyWulf...don't know why mine doesn't work. Says cannot find server. Any ideas why anybody?

 

[PsyWulf]

start -run -cmd
tracert www.techsupportforum.com

before you're running tracert, run the following (also in the Command Prompt window):
nslookup www.techsupportforum.com

If it was unable to resolve the hostname, then there's no point in trying to do a trace route

Seems like a DNS error but shouldn't the DNS forward queries that it can't resolve? Sorry I'm very rusty on my networking...

 

[Spooner]

yep no luck with nslookup either

No problems this side.

fixed it. changed to googles public dns servers and now its working hundreds. So I assume Cybersmarts DNS servers aren't forwarding queries? tracert, ping and nslookup all recognise the site now. Thanks guys for checking the site most appreciated
