I can't connect to certain servers

I can't connect to certain servers,

I have looked online and I guess it has something to do with "DNS" or some darn DHCP thing..



I have an airport extreme and I'm running OSX 10.3.8 (can't access Apple's servers to upgrade).



I have no spyware things installed nor do I have virus protection.



any help would be mucho appreciated.

Is this a problem from your home or work? The firewall at my work blocks out lots of sites for us all the time. IT guys just say too bad and live with it.
