                    For the past two days I can not connect to few websites like Mse, youtube, photobucket and nokia.co.uk.
I had the same problem about 1 month ago, so reseted the wireless router to factory setting and everything was back to normal, but this time I reseted it again and nothing is happening..
The only way I can connect to these websites is via hidemyass.com
My main pc, laptop and mobile use the same router, but none connects to these websites
Any ideas please?
Thanks

            Probably a dns problem. I'd specify extra DNS servers and see if that helps.They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0

 Quite a few people are having problems, seems to be a network-wide glitch at the moment.0

 If you can access that, it's definitely a DNS problem, and that's the page you want to go to to fix it.

            could also be the mtu setting on the router config - but more often than not dns incorrectly set as stated :-)0
