Suddenly cannot open ANY Microsoft related website

by acgphx . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

A client recently had a power outage (not sure if its related) and after a reboot everything was tested and working as it should until someone tried to open www.msn.com. Assuming it was isolated I went to town on that system without any success. Only after I spent 30 minutes trying to fix that workstation did I start getting calls from others in the domain that they too couldnt open microsoft websites.

Google, Yahoo, and other sites open just fine. But when I attempt to go to the MSN, microsoft.com, or windows update the browser hangs until I’m given a DNS error.This happens on all systems including the file servers.

Initailly I thought it could be the Qwest modem or the Netopia router. I’ve rebooted both without resolving the issue.I’ve restarted and flushed the server’s DNS without any change. I also restarted the server.

I’m kind of stumped on this one. Any help would be appreciated.
