I seem to be able to access it fine... Have you tried clearing your cookies and history?

Yes tried that ! I get the error page load below in firefox

Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertieswww.dealextreme.com

I also cannot access in Internet Explorer or Chrome

OK I think I know the issue, but not sure how to solve it.

I am on O2 Home Broadband, I can access Deal Extreme by my 3 Mobile Dongle connection but not my O2 using same laptop, all the PCs in the house through O2 connection fail also. O2 customer service reckon my O2 broadband dynamic ip address is being blocked by Deal Extreme site. What do you guys think. Last time I had access through o2 was 29/03/09. All other sites seem ok.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Be's (therefore, I assume, O2's as well) DNS servers are wonky at the best of times. Try using the opendns servers. I'm able to access DE via Be just now, but I had bother with a site earlier on a machine that wasn't setup to use opendns.

Thanks. How do I use or set up open DNS ?

assuming you can access the opendns site https://www.opendns.com/start

If you can't, their website is at http://208.67.219.101
