Unable to connet due to DNS failure

[Phoenix Primswitch]

I can connect to sl on my desktop but the lap top gets a dns error failure to connect to the simulator.  The lap top is online as \i can surf the net with no issues, I'm running win 7 with a clean install of sl viewers. Any help would be appreciated \;0\

 

Thank you \Nix

Hit the windows start key, type in "cmd", you'll see a black window, type in "ipconfig /flushdns", let me know if that helped.

Ok I don't know why but I did get into SL via laptop and the packet loss is 0.0% ping sim is 1714 msec sim ffs is 45 and the physics fps is 45.0 so I guess it was my server/net being a pain. The home sim is running on the Magnum server But I still don't understand why I could surf the net get osn SL website but just couldn't log in

 Oh flushing the DNS didn't work could of just bad timing on my part this has happened before

Your ping is really high, it takes almost two seconds for a round trip communication with SL, and for stuff like that, that's slow, alos you being able to browse the web doesn't tell us much, SL uses a lot of ports to comminucate, browsing just uses one and that always works.
