Earthlink.net - Is EarthLink Down Right Now? Readers partway down explain that Earthlink is having problems matching the URL's with their numerical values. It's like a big internet phone book. Google is fine for that task, and in that link, easy and clear instructions are there on how to set your computer to use Google's lookup, and all now is completely fine. Using Google Public DNS - Public DNS — Google Developers (Always record your existing settings.) It's completely transparent in use, and I think actually faster. One drawback, tho' I have cookies and popups blocked, non-site ads work their way into Chrome (but not Safari). I have an ad blocker in Chrome now, so it's mostly unnoticed.
