Hi

I am a student, I study from home so it's important to be able to connect to the university's site, because its the only way to communicate with the lecturers etc.

The site was down for a while due to maintenance and stuff. After that I no longer have access to the site.

1.Chrome : "This webpage is not available"
2. Firefox : "Server not found"
3. IE : Internet "Explorer cannot display the webpage"

All laptops connected to the router have the same problem.

I can access the site from my phone though. I asked students in the area if they have access to the site and no one has problems.

I asked someone with the same internet connection if he could access the site and he too had problems connecting to the site.

I phoned the university to ask if they had changed anything on the site and if its available... There are no problems there.
I phoned the internet provider and the technician apparently connected to my router and had no problems accessing the site.

I can access the site if I use a web proxy, but I cannot log in and don't really want to because I don't trust web proxies...

So yeah... What can I do?
Please please please help!!!!

See this https://developers.g...eed/public-dns/
Start, network and sharing, network adapters (I think that's what it's called), right click, properties, internet protocol v4, and put in the addresses, 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4

Hey...

Uh yeah thanks but it did not help, or I am to stupid to follow instructions...

So if you have more advice that would be helpful.

I did that the moment I realized that I don't have access to the site.

Sorry if I sound rude... I'm having sleepless nights about this. I need access to that site, my studies depend on it.

What's the site's URL? And you're sure you changed your DNS settings properly?
