 +**2. Change your computer's DNS.** \\
 +It's possible that your local ISP's DNS (Domain Name System) is acting erratically. Change it to some reliable DNS like Google's (8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4) or those (208.67.222.222  or 208.67.220.220) from OpenDNS.

 +DNS is like the phone book of the Internet. It keeps track of website names like myportal.upou.edu.ph.\\
  
 +**3. Help trace possible packet loss with MTR.**\\
 +Using an admin or root account, run this from the command line\\
 +   mtr myportal.upou.edu.ph
 +That should display something like this:
 +{{ ::myportal_mtr.png?nolink |}}
 +Send your own results to [email protected]\\
 +\\
 +**4. Test your site's DNS.**\\
 +Diagnostic sites like [[http://dnscheck.pingdom.com|Pingdom]] can help your administrator figure out the issue. Report if you find anything strange.
