I sent tech support at my ISP a question yesterday.
I was calmly surfing around, and wanted to go to google for something... error 
came back, CANNOT FIND www.google.com   WHA?
so I tried a ping, that worked, then I used the IP in the web browser and it 
brought up google. tried the name again, NOT FOUND. Meanwhile ALL other web 
sited that I tried worked normally, just fine....
about 5 minutes later, it worked normally again for Google..
I didn't do ANYTHING. is it ME, or...
and how do you FLUSH your DNS??
