Was in China with my computer and could not access Facebook. Now home in USA and still can't. How to fix? - David H - 01-28-2013 11:06 PM
While traveling in China with my notebook computer for 16 days I discovered some sites like Facebook and Twitter could not be accessed. Now I'm home in California and find the same notebook computer can't access these two sites. Was something loaded onto my computer while in China, something that contnues to block these sites? What can I do to eliminate this problem on y computer?

More likely, facebook and twitter blocked your access when you tried to access them from an ip address in china. Try removing your browser cookies, and flushing your dns cache. To flush your dns cache, open a command window and type
ipconfig /flushdns
then see if you continue to have this problem

Sounds like you might have poisoned DNS entries from the Chinese servers still cached on your computer. Try this to resolve.
