I can not access ANY Microsoft websites of Microsoft accounts.
Hello,
Yes the issue is still ongoing. The biggest hurdles are over but yes there will still be access issues. It is possible you can try changing the DNS setting in the modem to see if a different server can get you there.
Instructions can be found at http://support.hughesnet.com/sites/support.hughesnet.com/files/inline-files/1041264-0001_a.pdf (see page 30 for DNS settings) - you can try a widely used DNS address set like Google's:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
Yes it's fixed! I live about about 30 miles south of TANatPATS, had the same problem, and have been watching this thread- although some other sites that end in .gov were also affected. Thanks, Amanda.
Last time this happened (a few months ago) it WAS a DNS cache problem.
Reboot your modem. It's likely that the DNS is corrupted.
If you still have a problem afterwards, it's likely that the corrupted DNS entry propagated to one or more of your devices:
1. Turn off all of the devices (computers, phones, etc.)
2. Unplug your modem power cord from the wall.
3. Wait 60 seconds and plug your modem's power cord back into the wall.
4. Wait until all the lights are back on (~60 more seconds) and turn all your devices back on.
Ok, did that, left modem unplugged 10 min. and ALL divices off. Did not help :( Still can not access any microsoft websites or my account & email.
