    The addresses for OpenDNS from espresso's link are:
    • 208.67.222.222
    • 208.67.220.220
    just update the router dns settings, if u dont want to use their server dns then you will have to give your isp a call.

    are you using a modem or router? what operating system are you on? when you try to log on mse what happens?.. does it say IE cannot display this web page - or something like that? if so try clicking on diagnose connection problems to see what the problem could be

    I'm still having the same problem, I used hidemyass on my lappy last night and it let me on and the front page showed the Birthday bits, just a few minutes later I got a virus message, not sure if this came from hidemyass but thought it worth mentioning, it couldn't be healed even though AVG said it could, it's now sitting in the AVG virus vault.
