Windows XP?

Start > Run > type 'cmd'

Windows Vista?

Start > type 'cmd' > right click on 'cmd' and run as admin.

Then type in:

'tracert boards.ie'

Then click the print screen button on your keyboard ( usually somewhere on the right hand site )

Then upload to: imageshack.us

Post the link to the image here so us Tech's can see your results.

Your ISP is probbally just having some issues, are the other people on other networks on diffrent ISP's ?

cheers for the response

when i type that in i get:

'unable to resolve target system name boards.ie

?

TechTerry

I see, are you on vista or XP?

p_larkin99

that would be XP sir

TechTerry

I see, im on vista, so might be slightly diffrent.

Try the same thing, load up 'CMD' but type in:

'ping boards.ie'

let me know what you get

p_larkin99

again no result:

'ping request could not find host boards.ie Please check the name and try again



?

Thanks for help so far Tel!

TechTerry

Tel, not herd that in ages lol,

Looks like their is defo a problem with your connection, the site is working fine for me here in the UK.

Lets try to ping the actual IP of the site, do:

'ping 89.234.66.107'

p_larkin99

that worked but having trouble uploaing the resulting image to imagshack, bare with me if possible

Cheers

TechTerry

Nice stuff, ill be waiting.

EDIT: If you need any help, do let me know.

Can you actually go to the site using its IP?

89.234.66.107

If so, you might have a DNS problem.
