    It would seem to be a problem SB have with BT addresses... I'm with Virgin at home and only had 1 hiccup for a few minutes... come to work and with BT, the site just isn't up to muster

    Same here, I think it's a Swagbucks problem this time.

    It is not a swagbucks problem.
    http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Blocked-website/td-p/613792/page/5 - There does seem to be a wider network issue which is affecting not only BT customers but those belonging to other ISPs as well. We're going to run some checks from our end to see if we can figure out what exactly is going on. Once I have any updates I'll post back in this thread.

    When I finally managed to get on SB this morning I had no survey either. I kept checking every couple of minutes and I finally completed a Brainjuicer. Goal met :j

    i've never had a problem with swagbucks being down, but here's a really quick simple guide for changing your DNS. it might help atleast one person....

    1 - click the internet icon in the bottom right of your computer task bar (next to the time) and click on "open network and sharing center" ...
    alternatively you can get here by going, start --> control panel --> network and internet --> view network status and tasks.

    2 - from this screen, to the right of your home network, or whatever network you're using there will be a blue link that says, "wireless network connection ('name of your network')". click this link.

    3 - a new small window will pop up, from here click "properties", NOT wireless properties.

    4 - yet another new window. from the list you see click and highlight "internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", then click properties below.

    5 - in the bottom half of the next window you will see two DNS options. change "obtain DNS server address automatically" to "use the following DNS server address"

    6 - for "preferred DNS server" enter 8.8.8.8 and for "alternate DNS server" enter 8.8.4.4

    7 - click "ok", close the windows and you're done. you may need to disconnect your computer from the internet and reconnect again. on a laptop this is normally the case of pressing a button to turn it on and off.



    hopefully this will help someone if it is the DNS thats causing problems. if not then oh well, you now know how anyway lol.
