DNS could not resolve host name

[Vacquero Mondalimare]

I am no longer able to log into SL.  I get an error message:  DNS could not resolve host name.  I run MAC OS 10.5.8, use firestorm and log in through a Cricket cell modem connection.

 

I have looked at the available information.  I CAN log into secondlife.com and, apparently, can't change the host server in cricket (or add google's server).  Cricket insists they have not closed any ports and do not block any websites.  Help.  I miss my friends.

How to fix this:

• On your Mac, open System Preferences and go to Network > Advanced > DNS
• Hit the plus button (+) and type in the numbers 8.8.8.8.
• Hit the plus button (+) and type in the numbers 8.8.4.4.
  • If you live in Asia or Australia, you will need to use the following numbers instead of those just listed: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Even those in other parts of the world might find this pair to work better, so if you complete the process and find no change, repeat it with this set.
• Close the System Preferences and restart your viewer.
