Why, hello. Okay, here's what's up. Most every site on the internet gives me a "server not found".

Only five or six sites work on my computer:
Google - all of it
Yahoo - most of it
Wikipedia - works for 20 minutes, then dies
Myspace - half of it
Dictionary.com - Works every 2nd day
Urban Dictionary - all of it. Haven't been on there in several months, but it was under my bookmarks so I checked it.

This happens in both Firefox and IE, so I don't believe it's a setting issue with either of them. I'm virus and spyware free (AVG and Ad-Aware SE deserve some loving). My cache, cookies, everything is emptied every time I close Firefox, so it's not like I'm running of them them. I can still use AIM, ICQ, Y!M, and MSN through Trillian, but most updater-things don't work (seeing as how they update from their servers which I can't connect to).

This is only the case for my own computer--every other computer in the house is fine. I usually use my Wireless adapter to connect, but it's the same when I use an ethernet cable. (I'm on the old, abused, family computer atm, seeing how I can't connect to EoFF from my lovely machine.)

This began a few days ago. Thinking back, I believe it started after booting my computer from an ancient, also abused and now crippled, Windows 98SE hard drive. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Help? :O
