Sometimes DNS queries from my computer just fail. It happens in Firefox, IE, and manual nslookup. Other computers in my house are just fine.

Any advice?

What DNS server are you using? Running ipconfig /all in command prompt will tell you. Using any Linux machines? Setup bind for a DNS forwarder, makes lookups faster. As for a master DNS server, I use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2. Give those a shot.

But it does sound like a spyware related problem. Scan for them using whatever favorite tool you like.

No spyware as far as I can tell.

I don't think it's the DNS servers since the other working computers are using the same ones, but I will try those two. Thanks.

Try seeing if something is in your winsock stack that shouldn't be. This page has good instructions on using the two winsock repair tools.

Net diag reported no errors for Winsock.

But I added your DNS servers after the two provided by my ISP and haven't had any problems since. Sometimes it takes a little while to lookup, during which I'm assuming it's trying the first two and failing. Weird, but many thanks.
