Hi guys,

its fine here.

try using some proxy, if it fails then some serious problem is there with isp

What ip address does it shows when you try to ping thinkdigit ..??

Try this :
Start > Run > Cmd {Press Enter}
ipconfig /flushdns {Press Enter}

[victor_rambo]

sometimes happened with with me too in the past

[Gigacore]

when i pinged to thinkdigit.com the IP is 198.65.131.97
them i'll get request timed out in all the four attempts and finally it says 100% loss.

after i did ipconfig /flushdns
i got, "Succesfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache"

now what to do?

I aint sure, but try chaning one of your DNS address to that of OpenDNS:
i) 208.67.220.220 [or]
ii) 208.67.222.222

I have set my Primary DNS to OpenDNS : 208.67.220.220 and
Secondary DNS to BSNL : 61.1.96.69
So, I almost am never locked from DNS Problems.

[Gigacore]

well i changed the dns, but still its not working

@gigacrore:it is weird but do u have some fw rule set knowingly or unknowingly in ur system to block 198.65.131.97 ?try pinging after stopping ur firewall.(just for test) sure some internet suite or something u installed blocks 198.65.131.97
also do u have a linux install too na?try from linux too.

and try in cmd "traceroute 198.65.131.97"
mine shows:

prakash@gutsy:~$ traceroute 198.65.131.97
traceroute to 198.65.131.97 (198.65.131.97), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

Well .. Check your hosts file anyway .. :
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
You'll find a file called hosts here, open it in notepad and check it ..
