 * I was working on my site last night and everything was working great. I was just
   updating some internal pages, saved everything, refreshed the live site (everything
   looked good) and went to bed.
 * I woke up this morning to half of my site not working. The dashboard just gives
   me errors when I log in (RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Couldn’t resolve host ‘wordpress.
   org’ and RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Couldn’t resolve host ‘planet.wordpress.org’
   and RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Couldn’t resolve host ‘blogsearch.google.com’.
 * The home page only shows half of the page and the flickr rss footer plugin no
   longer works on any page. I deactivated and reactivated it with no luck.
 * I tried re-installing 3.01 and that errors too (Download failed.: Couldn’t resolve
   host ‘wordpress.org’).
 * The website is here: [http://www.madisonmortgageloans.com/home/](http://www.madisonmortgageloans.com/home/)
 * Like I said, nothing was tweaked with before this happened other than updating
   internal pages thru my wp admin account.
 * Please help!

 * It sounds like your hosting provider has suddenly turned off PHP’s ability to
   include remote files. I recommend contacting them.

 * I agree so I called them and no luck. Basically told to ask the wordpress community
   because it must be a setting issue since the servers never change… any suggestions?

 * It’s funny. I was activating some of my plugins again after deactivating them
   and got this “Error establishing a database connection” message. Saying check
   my config file and whatnot. To me, it seemed as if my hosting provider was messing
   with something since what I was doing wouldn’t effect that. Lo and behold, the
   site works again! All I can think is that they restarted the server or restored
   defaults or something, not sure how that works but wanted to say thank you for
   your quick responses, I appreciate the help!

 * I am getting a couldn’t resolve host ‘alerts’ error and the same error for host
   google. How can I fix this problem? I am very much not a techie so need simple,
   clear instructions.
    Thanks for any help received. John
