Sometimes I will be playing and get a disconnection, then it tells me Silkroad is under inspection or updating when I try to re-load it, and half of the websites I try to visit on the internet time out or say DNS error - cannot find server, it usually lasts about 10 minutes, this also happens on my father's computer.

Sounds like ISP problems to me, since it happens on two PC's. Or it could be spyware, IP stack...meh.

run a command prompt:

Start-Run-CMD

type ipconfig /flushdns
<and hit enter>

past that point, good luck, you'll need to ask your ISP to assist you. Or google "public DNS servers" and how to set them up. You'd have to manually set your IP address on your computer that way, and it's still no guarantee it'll work since it sounds like your router.

But it's a start. Good luck.
