Default Help needed (Computer)

I have just signed up to another forum, local music, and since activating my account I cant browse the net, I can only use this, Stu's and the new forum. Everything else comes up as "server not found"

Help needed peeps.

Cheers.

Switched off and unplugged everything, laptop, tower, monitor, wireless router, modem. Removed all cables too. Reconnected/rebuilt everything, fired it all back up and 'there she blows'.

Back online.

Wonder what caused it tho, "Server not found" and "DNS error"?
