I cant log into E-bay anymore, or Yahoo messenger or MSN messenger now?

If it try Yahoo or MSN it just stays on the logging in bit for ages, if if i try Ebay, the front screen loads ok and then when i try to click on the 'my ebay' link to sign in, it never loads and comes up with an error page saying i cant find the page and summan to do with a DNS error

Anyone know what i can do to get this sorted? I sold 8 things on E-bay yesteraday and dont know hoy much for now

Im on freeserve and dial up.
Cheers

Try logging in on someone elses' computer if you're desperate. Type your error message in google and see if anything relevant comes up. Put what operating system you use as well. Have you only got IE on your computer, you could try another browser like firefox.

Cheers Pete,

It seems that everything has sorted itsself out, well i can get into e-bay and Yahoo aint tried msn yet.

Grrrrr bloody computers

It sounds like a freeserve problem, not your computer. Wannadoo has more than its share of them from what I've read on various lists.

Yup, it sounds like your DNS has gone down - that's your ISP's problem, not yours.

You can check by opening a command window (start -> run -> type 'cmd' -> ok), black window will open, type 'nslookup' and hit enter, then type in an address and hit enter. All being well you should see something like this...
