+1.

The website is working though. kwak, Start > Run > cmd > OK. Then in the command window, tracert www.facebook.com (http://www.facebook.com)

Then hit enter.

Chances are it's your ISP that's not doing DNS properly at the moment. Could be fixed in seconds, could take days.

:lol:

Click Start, Click Run, then in the box type "cmd" without the quotes. Hit OK. A black window appears. Type "tracert www.facebook.com" (again, without the quotes) then hit enter.

Copy & paste the results, but basically, you should see something 2 hops from the end that says FACEBOOK-IN..... That's the Facebook gateway. If you can't resolve that far, then you need to call your ISP. Or wait for someone else to call them. :)

No need for thanks this time. :lol:

That command you ran (or did you???) doesn't do anything really. Just tests the route from you to the facebook server.

Chances are it was a temprary glitch in DNS resolution (the art of finding out where an internet server is).

Facebook really annoyed me at first. I found it really confusing with all the networks, groups etc and people asking to "buy me as a pet"

But i gave it time and think its ok now. Handy for organsiing things and speaking to people i normally wouldn't.

You can normally isolate yourself from them, buy repeatedly ignoring the application thing and not downloading the vampire stuff.

A lot depends on your friends and wether they decide to pester you with it.
