Question
RoxieVentega
Alright, I got the error, searched the technical questions, and followed to instructions given to others with this problem.
Instructions were from the following link: http://neilrobinson.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/a-fix-for-dns-errors/
I have Windows 7 so I had to use the second link to help me make the neccesary changes: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-TCP-IP-settings
I changed the settings on Internet Protocol 4 (Windows 7 seems so have two internet protocols, 4 and 6) but when I tried to change the settings on 6, it said "the network address entered is invalid" with both of the two listed servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)
I tried to start my game, hoping that protocal wouldn't matter but the error popped up again.
So, I turned off that protocal hoping that using on protocal 4 would override that issue but I still keep getting the error message.
Help?
As I said, I have Windows 7. I am using a Lenovo laptop with intel core i5.
I am no computer pro so please try to dumb things down for me if the resolution is complicated "back door" coding or whatever.
Thank you and I hope this can help anyone else still having this issue.

I am in college and use the campus internet, therefore I can do nothing to change/unplug the modem. It's locked up somewhere on campus where students are not allowed to be. To be honest, I don't even know where on campus they modems are...

Speedtest.net says my PING is 38ms, my download speed is 10.07Mbps, and my upload speed is 12.56Mbps.
Pingtest.net said the packet test failed, Ping 23ms, and Jitter 3ms.
I have no idea what any of that means but I figured it may help those of you who do.
