Comcast blows goat asshole

[NeverTrustAWoman]

ok let me explain more clearly, comcast has decided to block online gaming starting with Bovada

[capitalist pig]

From what I read they are only blocking sites from Russia. Comcast is working fine for me, this isn't new news I Saw it over a month ago on Comcasts frequently asked question page JMO

try to flush your dns cache -that should solve the problem

if you have a windows box, do the following:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Enter <code>cmd</code> in the Start menu search field.
3. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
4. Type the following command and press Enter: <code>ipconfig /flushdns</code>
5. If the command was successful, you will see the following message:
   Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

for Mac use this:

1. Click Applications.
2. Click Utilities.
3. Double-click the Terminal application.
4. Type the following command:
   sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Your DNS cache stores the locations (IP addresses) of webservers that contain pages which you have recently viewed. If the location of the web server changes before the entry in your DNS cache updates, you will be unable to access the site.
Once you clear your DNS cache, your computer will query nameservers for the new DNS information.

good luck

Changed it to the google dns...turns out there's some other things they were blocking too.

It was down again this afternoon. If Comcast blocks Bovada the games there are going to blow

[GUMMO77]

Any harm changing the DNS? It's simple to do, but I was just wondering if there are any drawbacks.

No drawbacks, except Google Public DNS is purely a DNS resolution and caching server; it does not perform any blocking or filtering of any kind. Your ISP might be filtering some harmful sites (with potential malware) - Google DNS doesn't do that.

So let's say if you have Comcast and you decided to go to www.Gummo77.com, your browser might stop the initial load of the site and throw a msg saying that there is potential virus on this site and it would ask you if you want to proceed or not - Google DNS will just let you load the site without warning.

Thanks, Rocket! I really appreciate the feedback.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

lol what? how can comcast block bovada? that's impossible.

[nikossf]
