DST Problem

[NCIS330]

My computer didn't switch over to DST and I have XP. I'm wondering if I should just change it manually or is there something that I need to download/update for my computer to recognize it?

You will need to get a update from MS. Thanks to PC eye you can learn more here.

The thing is I can't get on and Microsoft site. It isn't my firewall or any of my firefox setting, for some reason I just can't view it.

 

[Emperor_nero]

You can't even view www.microsoft.com? Have you tried different browsers?

 

[NCIS330]

The same thing happens on IE and Firefox. I just got this when I clicked your link:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.microsoft.com.

# The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

# 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.

Maybe it's a DNS error, try going here it's the IP address of the MS homepage: 207.46.19.60

Now that works! How can I fix it where I can use www.microsoft.com but I can' do anything on the site with support or anything on there.

Glad to here it.

Now do you know how to change you DNS? I would suggest going to www.openDNS.com and setting up a new DNS for your internet.

Will that help me doing other stuff on the site like support that I need?

 

[Emperor_nero]

Yes it should fix it so you can go anywhere just by typing in the URL.

I went to the site it told me to change me wireless setting and changed my DNS address from the automatically that I had to two other things and I did and I STILL can't access www.microsoft.com.

 

[Emperor_nero]

Hmmm.

Try uninstalling your browser and then reinstalling it.

 

[NCIS330]

Alright I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the same thing happens. I'm about ready to just change the time manually and just forget about going to Microsofts site.
