Son has just phoned. He was using MSE in IE and suddenly couldn't get into it. He can access everything else but Martins going via his bookmark and via google search, it will not load. He tried to get in via his mobile phone and another laptop in the house and has the same problem. Can anyone please advise

Sounds like it's the ISP DNS messing up. I had a problem accessing a couple of sites this morning using the VM DNS which were fine when I swapped to using google public dns. The exact browser message should give more info on what is wrong.
The chances are that this problem will sort itself out so it isn't worth going through how to change DNS unless it persists in which case it's probably something else anyway.0 -
Very odd. He has just phoned and without him doing anything it is now working on both computers and phone. This problem lasted for almost an hour and half. Just in case anyone else has the same problem.0

Sounds like it probably was the DNS then and they fixed it. It isn't all that rare for this sort of thing to happen.0

Thank you for explaining, is much appreciated. I was absolutely puzzled. Will let him know.0
