Hi

I am trying to log onto this website www.forestholidays.co.uk from my home computer but am getting the message internet explorer cannot display the webpage.
I am able to log on from work and my daughter has accessed it from school but we cannot log in to it from home.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be. All other sites are fine.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

    check your firewall to make sure the sites not being blocked, also if you use a router, check it's not blocking the site as well

    Which ISP are you connected with? It works fine for me on Talktalk with IE7, Opera and Firefox.

    It could be worth contacting Talktalk. Last time I had exactly the same problem as you it turned out to be a problem with Talktalk's routing tables on their servers (even though some people on talktalk could access the same site I couldn't).
