My husband is having this same issue. My space won't load on all three computers at the house. He took his laptop to work today and hooked up using a different wireless router and and myspace loaded fine. We have connectivity and all websites load with no issue at the house. I reset the internet connection at the house thinking this might help because he could load myspace using a different internet connection and it did not help. Still can't load myspace on these two computers. Everything was working fine the morning of the 27th. The only changes we made here was installing a new N Wireless USB network adapeter that same day. This is driving my husband crazy, which is in turn driving me crazy. I can't live with a husband going through a Mobsters withdrawl. Please help.

Your husbands myspace
Hey do you by chance use people PC in your home for your internet? Just wondering cuz someone told me sometimes if there is hacking in large amounts by people with the same internet provider that myspace can block that internet connection for all people with that provider til issue is resolved.

Blocked Content
Guys, I think I found the solution. I have earthlink as my ISP and I was having the same issue. I would get errors and after a minute the page would load up but without the content. I suspected at first that the page was being blocked just like in a business environment. Well i contacted my ISP and they had put a block on that site. The unblocked me, re-started my modem and router and everything worked fine. I was able to get into the site. Contact your ISP to see if that page is being blocked. Let me know the results.

um, im not sure what exactly peoplePC is, so I probably dont use it. My service is earthlink.net DSL. Now, myspace is PARTIALLY trying to load, the blue bar at the top is loading (the one with home/mail/ect. on it), but still slow loading, no pics, crashing, ect. also STILL the only site not working...

apparentlly, according to someone in the myspace forums, it has something to do with earthlinks DNS servers, also this problem may extend to time warner cable as well, so other ISPs may be having the same problem...mine is starting to work though, so call yer ISPs people, start complaining!

Apparently Earthlink is connected with PeoplePC they are co-ISP Providers. This is what the man told me I am online and he is looking for solutions!

DNS servers
Guys I have found a workaround to this issue. It has worked for my othe earthlink site that I have and it seems like an earthlink DNS issues. Please follow this instructions. Got to your local area connection status and you will manually assign a static IP address and DNS server. Go to LAN Connections Status>Select Internet Procotocol and hit properties>under properties click on assing the following IP address and do an ipconfig on the command prompt and fill out the IP info, subnet mask and defalut gateway. On the DNS servers use the following IP addresses: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. This should work since you will not be going through earthlink's DNS servers. Please let me know the results and see attached image. Hope this helps.

I am on the phone with them now. I have been transferred 7 times after initially calling Brighthouse which uses Earthlink. This 7th guy tells me that the issue is with Myspace and has nothing to do with Earthlink and I am supposed to deal directly with Myspace. I have sent 3 emails to Myspace over the last 2 days and I have no response from them. So we are going to be stuck until one of them wakes up to the fact that something is wrong. I tried the approach given by Jeenx but this did not work. Oh well. It will eventually get fixed, I suppose. John10906

OK.Here is the latest DNS server address to use. In control panel, network connections, local area connection - right click on this - go to properties, on the new window scroll down to Internet Protocol and click on it, then click on Properties. Now you only have to click on the radio button labeled "Use the following DNS Server addresses" and then enter these addresses: 1st is: 208.67.222.222 and the 2nd is: 208.69.188.185

The second one is a new one and when I did this I am now able to get my Myspace page OK. So maybe the second one is now needed. This is the info I got from the Earthlink people.
