    Default Hello, I am the new web~db3!!!

    Mediacom is my ISP as well. I have a Mac running OS X - and this problem only occurs when I go to Yahoo. Any thoughts out there?

    I have brought this thread to teams attention as this is a topic. I am not familiar with MACS.

    A response may be after the weekend as they are in a different time zone.

    Anyone still experiencing this?

    I think Mediacom fixed it. That or some of the adjustments I made to my router earlier fixed it because I'm no longer experiencing it now.

    Not often -- Usually when I blow a TLD value (.coom instead of .com).

    Are you guys still experiencing this problem? Does it seem to effect any particular OS more than others? Are there ANY similiarities other than a few being Mediacom customers? I'm a Mediacom custmoer and not having any issues at all nor have any of the people I know that uses them having this problem.

    I have not had this issue for some time. I think Mediacom got the message and cleaned up the issue.

    Mediacom uses AT&T's DNS so it's hard for me to see it being a Mediacom thing. If any of you see this happening let me know as quick as you can.

    Ok, what's happened here was a combination of Mediacom and a bit of AT&T. There was a change made on AT&T's side that happened before it should have since it was only a week or so untill the change was made on Mediacom's side they let it ride as it was and the only people it should have affected were those that, for whatever reason be it a bit of malware oron purpose, tried to get to a website by an IP directly. I hope that answers some of the questions.
