Annoying Vista Problem...
First issue I have with the operating system.
Right, after been on the internet for so long it doesn't load up any pages - it usually does this on a daily basis. It says the page cannot be found, but funny thing is it always works on forums even though other pages are down. The only way to sort this and make it work again is to reboot the computer, but I can't be arsed doing that on a daily basis as I usually just hibernate it and restart it every few days.
Any thoughts to why?
My Dad has ran XP no problem on our internet and now is running Vista no problem too.

Haha, I cannot view it due to the above problem.
I'll check it tomorrow once I have rebooted it.

ok to save hassle:
How to Flush DNS in Microsoft Windows
In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache:
C:\>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
You can also use the command ipconfig /displaydns to view the DNS resolver cache.

The requested operation requires elevation?

On the command prompt icon, "Right click"->"Run as administrator", then you can flush the DNS.
