DNS Resolution Issues through Cox servers
Lately I have been having issues with DNS resolution, and even connecting to certain sites using IP.
For example: https://www.toyotafinancial.com/pub/home/
This page loads, but will not load the CSS that the page requires to display properly.
The url for the CSS file is: https://www.sc.toyotafinancial.com/web/tfs/pub/home/css/bootstrap.css
This happens with all browsers from my home computers. I believe it's a Cox DNS server issue because I can log on to my work VPN and access all pages on the toyotafinancial.com domain just fine. CSS files and everything else and the pages dispay properly. This is one example. It has been happens frequently with other site pages too. Is anybody else having issues like this?

Here's another page I cannot connect to via URL or IP: https://promotions.centurylink.com/offers/fastspeeds
Is Cox blocking it's competitors Internet Service offers? Again, I can connect to all pages in the centurylink.com domain through my work VPN.
It seems like this is getting worse by the week! Cox is on the verge of losing me as a customer if this stuff continues.

I can access both those sites on Cox internet and Cox DNS. Does the site work if you use a 3rd party DNS like 8.8.8.8?

I changed each Cox DNS IPs one at a time in my Preferred DNS settings of my router. I had to change them all to 8.8.8.8 to finally get the pages to come up properly. Very strange since these same pages worked last month with the Cox DNS server IPs.
Thank you Health Edge for the help. I greatly appreciate it. Keep up the good work with helping users!
I just don't understand why there is an issue with Cox DNS. They are a huge ISP. A customer shouldn't have to use a third party DNS server to access anything on the Internet. Maybe it's just the area I live in, who knows. Below are the 3 DNS servers that I was using, in the same order.
68.105.28.11
68.105.29.11
68.105.28.12
Again, thank you for the workaround.
