Internet Explorer 6 & Bigpond dial up

[Jus!]

Hi Guys.

My laptop has a dial up connection to bigpond and i have been experiencing
the problem when i connect to the internet that at random times that
Internet Explorer will come up with a message saying something like "Cant
reach/connect to the domain". But if i keep refreshing, it eventually
reaches the site.

Does anyone know a solution to this? I ran Ad-aware and that was fine.
Thanks!

Jus

When I was a bigpond customer I used Telstra's DNS server as primary and secondary, When I was an Optus user I used Optus as primary and Telstra as secondary. Now I use a small ISP whose DNS servers can't find most sites in the world (and is very slow) I use Telstra DNS servers as primary/secondary. All DNS servers have problems occasionally. Telstra's is relatively good.

Also it's extremely reliable now - & hard to beat on Broadband cable, free
changeover to DOCSIS modems, $AU53.96 ($US38.50)/mth unlimited d'load, plus
10MB free website.
Nary a complaint on broadband.users
(I hope you're referring to little Johnnie, not me, David)

It's Margo not me. While I was a tory till 1990 (I was a big fan of malcolm) I wouldn't vote for johnny the traitor. Margo voted for him.

Catch 22?
"Whilst Margo has a big go at Howard in the book, she doesn’t believe the
ALP is really capable of addressing the issues raised in 'Not Happy, John!'

What the Labor party will do is set up advocacy groups which will oppose a labour government. Contrast to the right that only funds groups supporting the government. A labour government will set the structure for some progressive change while being a rightist government itself.

This is better than what exists now.

Sorry, David, I must be getting old (actually, I am), couldn't follow that
100%.
Could you simplify? Mail direct if you like.
