Help!! Accessing website

Betty_Bucket

Please can someone tell me why I cannot access this website unless going through a freeproxyserver

Could it possibly be my ISP blocking me, for overuse etc?
ISP is the dreaded TalkTalk!!
this is also happening on one other website
Any help greatly appreciated

if you are using a router or a wireless router modem then turn it off at the mains for a few minutes, then turn it back on and try again

can you tell me which Firewall you are using ??

nortons / Mcafee ??

if not that then try this

Empty the cache

The first thing to do when Internet Explorer is misbehaving is empty your Internet Explorer cache. Often the cache is not corrupt or damaged – it is simply too large.
1.
Click Tools, then Internet Options, and then click the Delete Files button.
2.
A Delete Files window will appear. Select the option to Delete all offline content, and then click OK.
3.
Click Settings and reduce the size of your cache to, say, 50 to 100 MB (more if you routinely download very large files).

then flush the DNS if still not working

gor to the start button, bottom left of the screen
click on "run"

type CMD

click on OK and a box should open

type in that box

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns

or

ipconfig /flushdns

you will get the message

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache

did run etc "windows cannot find ipconfig/flushdns click start, search. Did that and search found nothing

Above needs to be done in a command window - type "cmd" in the open box not "ipconfig/flushdns"


try connecting to 209.97.205.2 and 213.129.77.16

Betty_Bucket

Yes, now successfully flushed dns
209.97.205.2 worked
will try connecting again without proxy

Betty_Bucket

without proxyserver 209.97.205.2 takes me to mse homepage but cant move from there
will go back over replies again
Does anyone think it could be my ISP blocking me or is that impossible to do??
