all of the sudden, no internet access

[mumbles]

There is an issue with our internet connection.

We can go to a search engine, yahoo, Google, msn, etc.

Once there we can click on any news item on the page and we can get to
that page.

In addition, once we are at the search engine, we can put anything in
the search and it will bring up the page of options.

However, when we click on one of the options, we can't access the
page. We get a DNS error, or in the case of Mozilla, we get a timed
out error.

We even brought in two computers with two completely different
configurations and tried to access web pages and the same problem
occurs. These are two laptops from work and from another home that are
known to work accessing web pages correctly.

If this is common to your Internet service (multiple computers, some tested in
other locations), I'd bet on one of two possibilities.
# Check for DNS problems.
