I always get a "Cannot find server or DNS Error" message on my portfolio website. I know it works because I contacted my host and she says everyone else can see it. And I've tried it on computers at school and at the library, and even at my neighbor's house. It seems it works on every computer except the one I have at home (Windows XP) though I remember it used to work two months ago. It probably works on your computer also:

In either to help fix this problem, I've posted the ipconfig, nslookup, and ping commands I did on MS-DOS.
