I guess I just was not clear enough about what I was attempting to say.
Especially as I did not say that.

If you live in Chicago, then I guess you can use the IP's that bpvwebdesigns posted, otherwise it would make more sense to use the ones posted here.

I was replying to the following...
said by madylarian :Once again for anyone still having resolution issues, I recommend updating DNS to the Comcast servers. 68.87.72.130 & 68.87.77.130 are the ones I am using. If you are less tech savvy, or helping a family/friend, and don't want to physical do it on their machine, you can use my tool below. (Windows 2k, XP only) 1) Click here to download Not everyone lives in chicago, and it looks like this litte program specifically changes the DNS to the chicago ones. |

Probably using the national DNS's is a better choice than one tied to a specific market.
Why's that ? |

Hi gang. I have been getting a lot of DNS errors. I can't reach our alternate Comcast invisionfree forums now. I wonder if a lot of ISP's are clearing their DNS cache. These guys really did a number on the Internet. My worry is that if one can do it, more can and really cause some havoc.
Edit: It appears that my connection problems are Cox related. |

Thanks for the "quick loan" again, Bartleby.
CCCarole...In case you haven't gotten the OE identity fixed, just go to File>Identities>Manage Identities, in OE. You'll see yours, and a drop down list below that says which one to use at startup. Not sure how it got deselected, but that's where you fix it. (And I'll bet you've figured that out, or got the answer in CHF, by now.)
I'm still on CHF "vacation". And a nice one, so far.
Thanks for the kind words re: my efforts to wade in when I knew many regulars might not be able to. Not sure I made much difference, but I tried. |

Hey my friend, you deserve a break after all of the helping you have done! Got the mailbox Mgr. straightened out. Still need to fix OE so it doesn't ask for Idenity sign in, but no worries, I'll get it fixed too. No, do not use webmail as primary means of access. Have a nice break, will catch ya here, there, or one of the 'others'. |

CCCarole...no worries. Hope you manage to get them sorted (even though webmail sure isn't your primary means of access). Site may even be getting more cooperative, as time passes, and the junk behind the scenes dies off. I'm still planning on a weekend "away"...from Comcast Help forum anyway. Maybe even a bit longer. I can find other ways to mildly aggravate myself.
(And mady, forgot to mention the links here did go to that thread, when I tried them again while already logged in to the forum. Opened fine as another tab. In between the random "boots" back to the home page, of course.)
Apologies to the regular BBR member named "Bartleby" (excellent choice of ID, by the way). I would prefer not to borrow it any longer, even with the slight variation that allowed me to. |

Bartleby, Mady, EG- I'm late getting here this morning- posted my problems with webmail & OE on THF, only to find your answers here just now. I think going back and forth from here to there last night has fried my brain.  Thank you as always... |
