Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Click Start then Run. Type in cmd and then click Okay. You'll get the command line. Then type ping www.sitename.com.
thanks, guys! Unfortunately, it still didn't work. I can't figure out why I can't access this site from my work computer. Grrr.
try open DNS. Maybe the DNS server is wonky.
open dns?
Opendns.com
thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.
So, does anyone else have a TiVo (of the DVD-burning kind) and the ability to get fancy digital TV or whatever? What do I need??
well, your TV should have at least two RF inputs (most have at least three now). It's not that hard to set up. I mean, if I can do it . . .
