    Since May 10th, everytime I try to go to my company's website www. murphywarehouse.com all I see is the word TESLA in the middle of a white screen. I can access any other site on the planet but my own?? When my IT logged on to my computer it happened to him also, so its on my machine. Nobody else in the company has this problem. We've tried all kinds of virus scans and haven't been able to solve the problem. Anybody out there have any ideas?
    I'm running on the standard Microsoft XP system.
    Thanks!

    There wasn't a tesla file on my computer that I'm aware of. We updated and ran Spybot, Stinger, McAfee, etc. and couldn't find anything. We deleted cookies, history, files, etc. This so maddening!

    Dns

    OK - I just can't keep quiet when I hear something like "I'd flush my DNS"

    First - what does DNS stand for?
    Second - is this a command you run only when there's a problem or is it a good thing to do once in a while to clean things out (literally)?

    Thanks

    Re: Dns

    DNS = Domain Name Server (It translates names strings like www.majorgeeks.com into an equivalent IP address).

    While I am no expert in that area, I would expect that this is not something you normally would have to do. Also I would guess that after that it may be necessary to run:

    ipconfig /registerdns

    To refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names.

    secondary command needed?

    Wow - your answer was like reading something from the encyclopedia (a real book, I mean, if people can remember those).

    So, IF I ever did any flushing (I just love that term) I don't have to do anything else? because...

    Just making a note of it for my files.
