Not sure what Major Geeks told you to do

Log on as an administrator, go Start > Run and type: "cmd". In the window that appears type: "netsh winsock reset". When the program is finished, you will receive the message: "Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the machine in order to complete the reset." Close the command box and reboot your computer.

Go Start > Run > type: "cmd" In the window that appears type: "ipconfig /flushdns". Close the command box.

Go Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Right click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using Dial-up, and and choose Properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item. Select the radio button that says "Obtain DNS servers automatically". Reboot.

Warning: Some Internet Service Providers need specific DNS settings. You need to make sure that you know if such DNS settings are required before you make this change.


Also make sure the box by proxy server is unchecked

did the above, still no dice. followed this procedure "kinda" http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=139313

I don't want to appear rude, but don't you think it would be better to continue with Major Geeks?

I was passed on to this site through a link on their site, but I will try there again first. Thanks.
