Problems with International Sites

[Abe]

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems with some international sites. For example www.google.com works fine but www.borland.com fails miserably. I have a list of sites that fail:

www.borland.com
www.jrsoftware.org
www.fast-report.com

Plus lots more

Cheers

Abe

Thanks for the info.

If you could have a look for me, what are your DNS server settings?

Mine are:

196.25.1.11
196.43.1.11

Thanks

196.25.1.1

No difference. Very strange. Restarted router. No difference.

Lets try and restart the system.

I also have had problems in the past with those mentioned DNS servers.

Currently I am using:
196.25.255.34
196.25.255.3
and it works fine.

Meant that I tried your settings without luck

I have changed my ISP settings from the WA Prepaid account I was using to a WA Unshaped Prepaid account and it is working fine so it seems to be something on their side.
