Hi
Since this morning I'm having problems connecting to International sites.
I tried to get hold of a HP sata driver here:http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...=1839143&submit.y=4&submit.x=11&lang=en&cc=za

Error message:The connection was reset. I thought their might be a problem Internationally, but some hours later I phoned Telkom and was told there were no problems. We did the normal router setting thing with no luck. The guy on the other side could connect to the site. I checked my other pc's and they could connect to.

At one stage I received a server dns server error if I ran the diagnostics. I changed to open dns in my router.
I can connect to the HP site, but not to any of the links.

I cleared my browser, flushed dns, countless reboots, nada.

I also cannot connect to www.java.com.

There are more, but can't remember all the sites.

I applied Friday afternoon to have my line upgraded again from 384 to 4Mbps. That was done this morning, but like I said, the other pc's connect fine.

I tried Telkom again this afternoon (because of the dns server error), but this time I really got myself a dimwit and that was a waste of time.

I don't get the dns server error any more when I run the diagnostics.

Win 7
I use Firefox (upgraded to 3.6)
Quad 9400
2GB ram
Connected with RJ45 to Mega100wr2 router

Help with this would be highly appreciated.

EDIT:Solved - For some reason Peerblock was the culpritt.
