CPU technical help with Firefox

I keep getting this page now for some reason on my desktop when I try to load firefox.

 

Server not found

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firefox can't find the server at forums.offtopic.com.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Check the address for typing errors such as

ww.example.com instead of

http://www.example.com

 

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

 

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Two suggestions:

1. Follow the instructions to disable DNS failure caching at http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ (You'll probably want to do the TCP Receive and Send window patches as well, hint hint)

2. Override RR's DNS servers by using the tier 2 servers listed at http://www.opennic.unrated.net/public_servers.html

 

Side suggestion: Bookmark http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and regularly replace \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts with their version to cut down on ads and spyware tracing.

I've been having DNS issues all day today. In plain english that means road runners servers are not sending me to the web site when I punch in http://www.whatever.com

 

 

If you go on thier site you can see thier network is all fubared.

Once you choose the correct drop down boxes and the next page loads, look in the middle for a network status. About everywhere in columbus was red today.
