I keep getting the message "The connection has timed out. The server at answers.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond" and it's taking me up to 30-40 seconds to get a web page to load. Many times the I keep having to hit refresh. Is it Yahoo or is it my crappy ISP again?
I'm using wireless DSL and it says:
Signal: very good
Speed: 54.0 mbps
(It usually says "server not found" so this error is a fresh hell)

You may have a corrupted or outdated Resolver Cache. Use the following command to clear the cache.
Start> Run> cmd> ipconfig /flushdns

To flush the DNS resolver cache when troubleshooting DNS name resolution problems, type:
