DNS error - Can't Login

I haven't been able to login to SL all day. When I try I get the error msg "DNS could not resolve the host name."

I have already - run a system restore, uninstalled / reinstalled sl, checked my firewall settings, and rebooted my router. It is happening on both my laptop and my desktop so I have a feeling this is on my end. Can someone please give me ideas on what else I might be able to attempt to fix the error?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated - its basically making me crazy at this point.

I already submitted a support ticket but I think this is something I could fix on my end if only I knew where to start.

Thank you

got it figured out - tbh i don't even know what it was that ended up working for me but i'm logged in now so you can ignore this thread, thanks.
