Running Vista Beta 2..

So every once in a while (sometimes fairly often), I'll get page
cannot be displayed in Firefox.

Go to dos, ping the host - Cannot Find host.

ipconfig /flushdns fixes it.At least for a while.

Connection is through a DSL line through a netgear router. Never had
this issue previously on XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Im not sure why but I had a similar problem..

2 PCs on my LAN, The XP one shows my (dynamic IP based) website as the
correct IP, the Vista PC still shows the "Old" IP.. no amount of ipconfig
/flushdns would help either.

I still cannot figure out why this happened to the Vista box.
 
I'm having much the same trouble! I can't surf the internet. If I feed in
numbers, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, instead of http://, I can connect. I've been over
ever setting with the people at the local computer shop, and with my ISP,
nothing helps, except to confirm the problem. My Vista connects, but can
communicate. Oddly enough, the unit works Ok on some ISPs, but not on
others. It's like a "piece of the puzzle" wasn't included in the box. If
_anyone_ has any idea what is happening, and what could be done, _please_ let
me know so I can return this borrowed PC and get back on my own PC.
