Normally for Hoy I use http://www.hoy.com.do/app/frontpage.aspx
This results (for me) in a Server Too Busy message. For El Nacional I use http://elnacional.com.do/app/frontpage.aspx
This results in a Resource Cannot be Found message. But, I'm wondering if thay have moved? By altering the URL I found
Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital and
El Nacional, la voz de todos
The layouts look completely different from the previous Hoy and El Nacional but unfortunately they don't seem to be working very well (for me) and I can't access enough pages to be able to tell if these are indeed the same papers.

It's not you or your computer.
The first 2 links show servor errors, then the following two open the home pages, but when you navigate elsewhere, it also shows a server error, which I guess means, there is a server error, lol.
The important part is that your computer and DNS configuration is OK and I expect they will fix their websites, ma?ana.

For HOY, I just use: Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital and it works like a charm

I seldom read El Nacional.....which used to be one ofthe most widely read newspapers inthe country. they also published ¡Ahora! the political mag.

This is where you can change your DNS settings, by entering the appropriate DNS servers in the Domain Name Servers (Optional) box. (In this case where the 66.151.173.1 and 198.147.76.65 addresses are.) DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE SAVE BUTTON in the lower right hand corner.

Hope this helps.

Good job, Tim.
I knew there had to be a "Macophite" somewhere, willing to help.

Update - I changed my IP numbers on the weekend and everything is much improved - Google and Gmail are back to normal.

However, the BBC news site is still very slow in loading - no change there, and my Verizon correo adicional webmail xxxxxxxx @ internet.net.do, which I was using as a backup when Gmail was down, has stopped receiving messages altogether.

If you were using Outlook for that address, it may need to be reconfigured.

That's what I thought. Their servers are so clogged up with spam, it's no surprise when this happens.

Glad it worked out for you.
Of course, there were several people involved in testing the new numbers, before posting them as the solution, and as I wouldn't want to catch hell for reporting bad news (don't kill the messenger) I can't take credit for bringing good news either.
A Verizon techie showed me the way, and we tested it for a few days before offering it up as "THE" solution.
I also benefit almost everyday from info and opinions posted on DR1.
Regards, Marco.
