Often times after a DNS issue you will need to do what's called flushing your DNS. What happens is that Windows will cache, or hold onto, a DNS when you visit a site. If you visit a site with a bad DNS often times you will have that bad DNS stuck in your computer. To fix this simply perform the following steps:
> Close out your web browser
> Click on your start button
> Click run
> Type cmd - this will bring up a black box and a cursor
> Type ipconfig /flushdns then wait for it to finish
> Close the box and reopen your browser
