It gets more confusing now...
I apologize for such a long post but to understand you need details.
So... I'm running windows XP sp2.
I have had the problem of: spybot not loading, not being able to get to the
www.safer-networking.org website, and not being able to ping the same website for over 2 days now.
It was just recently I went to the other computer and got the IP address via pinging the host name and used the IP on my web browser to get to this forum. Also, my dns cache has some strange websites I have not went to.
Now, I open the cmd window and ping the website name and get a response. OK, so I reinstall spybot and was successful and restart the computer.
- Spybot still will not run
- I am able to ping the safer networking website and get there via browser.
- my dns cache looks funny.. see below:
These should be the IPs of my satellite assigned DNS servers.
DNS 1: 148.78.249.200
DNS 2: 148.78.249.201
What I have is as follows:
OK... OK.... I just checked my TCP/IP properties on my Local Area Connection and somehow there is manual entries in the DNS. SOMETHING CHANGED IT!!!!
STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY SPYBOT WILL NOT RUN????
I will fix the dns and see what happens. Anyways, here is a list of the dns cache and none of these sites have I been to. And when I do the ipconfig /displaydns my zonealarm wants me to allow something to the 85.255.112.174 address:
