    Unable to view some sites on airtel

    If it's dnspoisoning, shudn't I be redirected to some other site? Tracert to sidewinder seems ok to me and Ping reports the ip as 68.142.205.137, which dnsstuff.com says is a yahoo store domain. What tests do I do to make sure?

    Unable to view some sites on airtel

    So I can rule out vista messing with me. @Sandy, I have tried with the 3 browsers that I have. I can ping those sites no problem. Like I said, the browsers can connect but never get past the "waiting for" stage (well, except to proceed onto the time-out page). Jus noticed that I pasted...

    Unable to view some sites on airtel

    I've been having this issue, surprisingly, since I've been using vista 32 bit. Some sites just don't open on any browser(ie, ff, opera). Oddly enuf, the sites I've identified that don't work anymore so far are: xtremesystemes.org sidewindercomputers.com desitorrents.com support.microsoft.com By...

    applying the paste!

    I am using only alcohol. The acetone I seems to be too dilute to work. Just alcohol works very well actually and never had a problem after so many remounts.

    GO - Benq 1650 and 1655 dvd burners!

    Both the shops I went to asked some walla on the phone, so I can't be 100% sure, but because I asked them for the 1655 model specifically so I am sure (I even asked them ring up again to confirm). Both quoted me the about the same price for the drive but only as OEM. The 1650 boxed version is...

    GO : Corsair 620HX Modular SMPS

    Me too want one. I asked around in ritchie and got a 8.x K quote! He even called up the, supposedly, only distributor of corsair in calcutta, who refused to believe that some ppl are getting it at less than 8K, anywhere. So, if anyone can get one for me from ABGB, help.

    GO - Benq 1650 and 1655 dvd burners!

    I just asked around ritchie and the cheapest price I got for Benq 1655 was Rs.1,500. But it's OEM. Boxed versions aren't available anywhere. Is there better models available or is this the best one? I just wanna understand the 1650/55 fever here.

    PC Peripherals Missing a resolution entry in vista!

    ^It was a graphics driver poblem. I had sent an email to Nvidia's vista support but am yet to hear from them. But I noticed that the whql 158.18 driver was released yesterday. So I installed it and the resolution option came back. Whoohoo. But why remove it in the first place??
