I've got 2 PCs that are networked. They both run XP and use the same firewall, antivirus, security programs and settings. ISP is AOL.
Does anyone know why , or how I can find out why some websites are not accessible from one of the PCs. It's always the same PC that causes the problems.
An example of one of the sites I can't get is http://www.currysauction.co.uk/
Any help would be appreciated.

What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the internet history, cookies etc.
I'll cry if you say you use AOL's own software."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

How are the PCs networked? Are they both connected to a router or is one connected to the internet through another?"She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Both are connected to the router, one wired and one wireless. What really bugs me is that I can access stuff on one but not the other, so i didn't think it could be anything to do with the router or firewall0

Is it the wireless one that's giving you trouble?0

No, it's the wired one0

Try setting up your router to use OpenDNS servers. Full instructions given here.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Thanks espresso. :T
Problem now solved.
You've no idea how many hours I've spent going through all the security settings!!!!!!!!0 -
Also AOL use a MTU setting of 1400 and many routers default to 1492 or 1500. This produces the same effects.0
