Weird DSL problem

[AssassN]

I just switched from DSL to cable and it works fine except some sties won't go. I can't get to Planetside.com or hotmail.com. I also can't play planetside.

I checked my settings and I don't know why it wouldn't work. I think it's weird that some sites work and some don't.

Any ideas?

Also how do i get to MSDOS mode on Windows ME? I did the accesories and go to the prompt menu thing but i can't reformat from there because windows is still on.

i don't know about your DSL, but i can tell you that microsoft hasn't included DOS in any windows version later than 98...

Command prompt => start menu => run => type cmd or command

while you're at the prompt type:

ping www.hotmail.com

this will tell you whether you are reaching hotmail server. If it times out 4x with no response you are not reaching it. If you get a response, I would assume there is some setting on your computer that is stopping you from getting there.

Woah everything works now. Well thanks for help. ALso BTW computers come with MSDOS because I've been in it with XP I just don't remember how I did it.

they dont come with a "real" dos (windows still runs in the background), unless it was installed seperatly. maybe you mean cmd prompt?
