Connection problems

Options
I cant seem to get onto the site at home either on the desktop or laptop :confused:

I have tried everything. I am connecting to every other site fine no problems with IP or connection. Have contacted Belkin who I use for wireless but they say everything is working ok.

Are there problems with MSE or is it my set up at home? I am able to get on at work fine. Just can not see what is wrong as I can connect to every other site under the sun at home apart from this one.. :mad:

Please help any ideas welcomed.

    I would download and install this https://www.ccleaner.com

    A very good cleaning tool.
  • well the simple way is to go to control panel - internet options - delete files (tick all offline content)

    it doesnt clear everything but it's a worth a try for starters
