Zoom wireless modem

save-a-lot

Hi

Installed a wireless modem, but use the main computer via the hard-wired connection. The problem I have is, there are many sites that I just cannot access now, and these are ones that should not be a problem at all, for example I cannot get to halifax.co.uk - at any time night or day, the page will time out. On the other hand I am fine with other sites. Has anyone an idea as to why it is doing this???

Can you get to other banking sites?

can you start, run, cmd

ping https://www.halifax.co.uk
ping 62.172.104.78

Do you have good av and antispyware software installed.

different point, but have you encrypted your wireless network?

Hi

I did that and I get

destination net unreachable

Mmmmm - it is really odd

Looks like the Halifax url blocks ICMP pings.

Hi

What does that mean? and do you know the answer to my problem?

albertross_2

when you ping ping https://www.halifax.co.uk what number does it try to connect to.

do you get the same error with ping 62.172.104.78

and ping https://www.google.com

EDIT I'm getting the same problem with halifax now..worked earlier.

Enter 212.140.245.97 in your browser address bar and see if it opens the Halifax website. That will help indicate whether or not you have a DNS problem.

In which case it's not a DNS problem.

I used to have a USB modem and that was fine, since changing this problem has started. I will go back to the shop and ask... I bought locally from an independant computer store so I reckon they will sort me out.

Try this.
