Help!! Accessing website

Options
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 ??

    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

    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
    Rich people save then spend.
    Poor people spend then save what's left.
  • Yes, now successfully flushed dns
    209.97.205.2 worked
    will try connecting again without proxy

  • 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??
