So since yesterday I've had the weirdest issue. There are certain sites i can't access. European sites are mostly fine, even some American, but almost none. I did a tracert and it times out in or after nl and some other in the us. I posted a screenshot. I could upload it, but i can't view it so i don't know if it's working or not. If you ask me this doesn't seem like a local issue, but i can't be sure of that as i don't have the knowledge when it comes to networking and routing or whatever it is you call it.

Well you're getting to the US (199.27.76.1).

Its almost certainly not a local issue unless its some kind of DNS poisoning issue your end (massively unlikely). It would be worth doing some traceroutes to a number of different websites and a number to the same sites that are not working to see if they hit the same routes.

Why does crap like this happen only during weekends?

I can only find ping IP on my router, but i'm unable to get hold of the IP of the sites i want to ping as i can't reach them :/

Don't worry about doing it from your router for now. If you launch a ping from your computer using the domain name it should give you the IP. Thats probably the first thing to check. Put some of the websites here and the relating IP addresses that you see.

I used this site to find ip's to the web site used in the picture above: http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php

When i use the ip that i get, i reach it, but when i try to access the site using the domain name it fails. DNS server issue?

Imageshack isn't working, tinypic is partly loading. What the heck is going on Laughing

Then you have a DNS issue, easy. Type the following into a command line and post the results:

ipconfig /all

Although in the image above you are trace routing to the domain and getting an IP.. :\..

Try running this as administrator:

netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=8.8.8.8 index=1

This will change it back:
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=192.168.1.1 index=1

It changes your DNS server to something that isn't your router which is no doubt using your ISPs DNS server that probably sucks.

run as administrator.... I thought i was administrator on this shitty OS. Even turned off uac.

It does say administrator in user accounts, but clearly i'm not.

You probably have to open cmd by right clicking and going to "run as administrator".

Your account will be admin, but it doesn't run things with admin privs by default for security reasons.

Well its not a DNS issue, still, 8.8.8.8 is the way forward for DNS so if nothing else you've improved your machine Wink!

Which websites are you having issues with?

Sounds like it might just be an issue with your ISP. Have you checked the ISP status page to see if there are any known faults?

ipconfig /flushdns usually takes care of Routing/DNS issues, but since you're behind a router it's your router that needs to flush it's DNS cache. Still, looks to me like wikia.com is simply down temporarily, or DDoSed (highly unlikely). The router/server/gateway that wikia.com is connected to works but not wikia.com itself, so the issue is somewhere between (and including) wikia and it's server.

EDIT: After reading further it may be your ISP having issues with it's DNS servers or possibly it's back end.
