DNS issues?

Hi guys

I've had a search around and found a few threads but haven't found a solution.

I'm having difficulty with itunes as it keeps 'timing out' when trying to set up the genius bar. Also facebook for some strange reason will not load on my laptop or on my iPhone. 'Connection interupted'.

I've restarted my laptop, router, rebooted my router and tried ipconfig /flushdns but this 'requires elevation' apparently?!

Is it a problem at my end or at my ISPs?

Regards

BennyC

Im with Tesco

Just tried opendns but doesn't seem to have worked.

I'm not very technical but a friend suggested I command: ping facebook.com and it just timed out. Where as google.co.uk worked with an average of 80ms.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I tried changing to opendns servers in the connection settings but that didn't seem to work.

Thanks for the info about Virgin Media supplying Tesco.

Anybody else having issues too?
