Almost every time I click on a page or type in a website I am getting "This page can not be displayed". The problem has been happening for about 3 weeks. I reinstalled XP and all updates, no improvement. I wondering if it might be a problem with the ISP, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else is experiencing the same. If not, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this incredibly annoying problem?

Problems browsing on Verizion Flash DSL ?
Hi, we're experiencing the same problems with our Flash at work. So you're not alone!ustelephone said:
Actually, I think I would have preferred to be alone, this means I have to deal with the phone company. I just weaned myself off of Valium from dealing with the electric company, and now this. I think I'll just wait till someone else calls it in.
Okay, I called them, and they are having problems with the international internet connections. They said it would be fixed soon.

Just keep in mind, that you're dealing with the same guys who used to wear codetel uniforms a short while ago. :ermm:
I have the same problem, many times I have to enter the same direction twice to make it work. I thought it was the old PCs fault, that I'm using since a couple of weeks.
I have this problem wherever there is the Zyxel prestige 600 router installed. This is a very crappy router, hangs everytime we switch to inverter poewer and sometimes for no reason at all. (and no ups or regulator will fix it) it seems similar connections using the older Sisco routers work much better, although there are occasional failed lookups (niothing a quick F5 won't fix)
Since Codetel refused to change my router I am dumping their corporate DSL service in favor of Tricom's. (I used it for years with no trouble) Can't wait for Tricom to install the DSL, internet is almost unuseable at the office.
A little web searching indicates that the Zyxel 600 is a pretty unpopular little box, and there is no support from Zyxel I could find, at least not for the North American region. Either they dropped it or they only export it to 3rd world countries and don't care whether it works or not.

I'm using a SpeedStream DSL Modem with residential Flash DSL. I do have a Netgear router, but just to break out a PC and another device. I definately think it is on the ISP end.
I'm using their old Cisco modem and am having the same problem... Sometimes during peak hours, I have to refresh up to 5 times sometimes to get a page to display... definitely seems like a DNS server problem.
Its been almost a month since this prob started for me.

Guys,
As Rob said, your problem is verizon's DNS servers. Most windows PC's allow for 2 DNS servers. You should use one of Verizon's, and one other, which is not verizon.
I have done this and I have noticed no problem whatsoever. I have both verizon and aster.
Where to get a DNS server? I am not sure; try looking around on the net, see if you can find some that are allowed to be used by the general public.

After waiting 7 months I finally got my DSL line working with a Speedstream modem/firewall/router whatever.
I can't play my favorite golf game on-line because the modem blocks the ports for direct play. My techie has been trying hard to get that fixed. He succeeded once, only for the settings to re-set themselves after one day and now he cannot get it back to where the game works.
I have the same problem as other people while browsing, many pages come up with error.
So right now I am basically still using dial up - those same pages load fine with dial up where I have the problem with DSL.
If these problems don't get resolved I will give up DSL, doesn't seem like they have their chit together.

I spoke to them again now, they claim they have received no reports of such a problem (not even mine).
I now have a ticket number: 2004-052100172
They say it will be fixed within 24 hours. No comment.
Anyway, power in numbers????

If I understand the problem, I rarely have it for reasons I do not know. However when it occurs there is a very simple solution. Reboot the DSL Flash box. It takes 2 seconds ,if that long.
