I have been battling my laptop for the past week and I am still unable to log-on to Facebook. I can get on all other websites just fine. I have cleared my cache and cookies and have tried to enable cookies for Facebook, but am still unable to go on, nor am I amble to ping Facebook. My security & privacy setting are set at default: Medium. What am I doing wrong?
I have run the following commands and the rest below HELP:

Also having issues when trying to access FAcebook. When trying to go
to facebook.com, it redirects me to another site. Sometimes ebay.com,
sometimes to a weird swedish blog. Sometimes it comes back to normal,
Its been like that for the past week now.

Switch your DNS to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and then when you click on
the vista orb (start menu) and type CMD, make sure to right click on
the cmd application and click "Run as Administrator" then try to type
the following command> ipconfig/flushdns
the vista orb (start menu) and type CMD, make sure to right click on
the cmd application and click "Run as Administrator" then try to type
the following command> ipconfig/flushdns
You have to make sure you are running it as an administrator or you
will not be able to perform the operation. Once you do that, your
issue will definitely be resolved.

Robin, do you have a Linksys 160N wireless router? Seems that there is
a problem with it's DNS caching that is causing similar issues for
others. I saw a thread over on the linksys forum somewhere.
