The Playground

I've been plagued with the "Address Not Found" errors for the past few weeks and it's been very frustrating trying to get to the root of the problem. Most of the sites are ones I regularly visit, so the error had me scratching my head. Sometimes removing the "www" from the site name would work, and the site would load. Today, my home page wouldn't load and nor would my usually reliable workaround.

I changed my DNS servers and discovered a great site that will give you the three closest DNS servers to your IP address. I thought this helped, until another error page popped up, but the pages are displaying correctly now with only one page refresh. Other suggestions from various forum sites did not work, and this doesn't seem to be a Firefox issue. The same problem has occurred using Internet Explorer and Opera.
