For months I've had <span>DNS</span> resolution difficulties. Till now I mostly suspected my ageing equipment was the cause of these difficulties, but now I wonder. <br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>My dilemma is as follows: <br><br>1) I fat fingered the following: "<a href="http://www.lpaypal.com" target="_blank">www.lpaypal.com</a>" .<br>2) I did not reach PayPal, but some alternative site offering things I did not want. <br>
3) I retyped, "<a href="http://www.paypal.com" target="_blank">www.paypal.com</a>" in the address bar.<br>4) Signed-in PayPal, endeavored to transfer funds and got a security warning , "You probably are not reaching the site you wanted...click here...back to safety." <br>
5) The warning stated that I was reaching (IIRC) "<a href="http://www.roverpal.com" target="_blank">www.roverpal.com</a>" the address bar read "<a href="http://www.paypal.com/...." target="_blank">www.paypal.com/....</a>." <br>
6) I figured that there were DNS shenanigans, so I: shutdown, reset my clear modem and Linksys router, and then rebooted.<br>
7) I signed into PayPal, conducted my business, and logged-out.<br><br>Now I feel remorse. Was that foolish?<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Preston<br></div>
