    Before I install that, how will it help?

    Will that solve the problem, Expresso, or is this something to use in the future to PREVENT this sort of thing from happening?

    There is nothing to install, just change of settings. I don't know if will sort out your particular problem but your ISP may have DNS problems e.g. out of date cache etc. You could also try using an alternative browser to try to pinpoint your problem e.g. here
    This would tell you if it's an IE problem etc. The link that you posted in post #4 works fine for me.

  • DNS problem then, there is no route back to you. Could be a router problem/setting

    try
    ping 127.0.0.1
    you will get 4 good replies

    Also your isp dns server is down, there should be two listed in network settings.

    Also flush your local dns settings, try, in a command prompt

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Working here but looks broken.

    Lets hope they are bringing back the old look.

    Try this link:

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/all/all/hot

    Or this one:

    http://85.13.221.162 << If that works then it is a DNS problem.

    I think they did ban a few people for complaining about the new layout, mind you I did too but they went over the top and were directing people to other sites.


    Not Me. I didn't complain and I was a regular poster on there. Didn't like the site but it was still working for me. Neither of those 'Back doors' worked for me either.

    I have tried it on IE, Firefox and Opera.

    Ojk Flushed that.

    The ping listed THREE times and perhaps a fourth but the screen flashed and disappeared before i could read it.

    Sorry the link that Expresso gave me left me cold. Couldn't understand what I was supposed to do.

    managed to copy the info from ipcofig/all though. See if this helps.
    C:\Documents and Settings\Terry>

    BTW Totalsolutions, I entered your IP address (as you can see) but dunno whats supposed to happen?

    Have I done it wrong?

    Is it possible that for a reason not known to me, that HDUK has banned me (Probably in error).

    Could someone pose the q to Emma, one of the admins, for me or perhaps email me her email address, please, if this could be the case?

    PM me your user name and IP and I will ask Emma to look into it for you.

    Do not post it here.

    I have PMed Emma this link, so she may pop in and help anyway.
