internet problem

> Anyone have this problem? I am able to navigate to anyplace on the net except this one site.

Which site is that? Does it feature scantily clad Ukrainian women demonstrating various surveying techniques, by any chance?

Have you tried a different browser? The first thing I try when Firefox starts giving me trouble is to launch Chrome.

How did you know Kent? You speak with authority on this matter.

Yep Jim tried 3 different browsers, no dice. Something wacky with my network??? My smartphone gets the site fine when connected to a different wi-fi.

Well, I was simply trying to reconstruct the conditions leading up to the problem you described.

> Yep Jim tried 3 different browsers, no dice. Something wacky with my network??? My smartphone gets the site fine when connected to a different wi-fi.

Can you reach the server? Try running a tracert on it. On a Win7 or XP machine, you can do this by launching a command window and typing "tracert ", e.g. "tracert www.dcn.org". That'll show you if you're reaching the server at all, and where you're bombing out if not.

Sometimes your provider has an issue with their DNS tables. Try opening a dos command prompt then type ping www.beerleg.com for example. If it returns an ip address then it's usually a browser issue. Also you can use a DNS lookup tool online to find the IP address of the site and key that into your browser rather than the URL. If your provider is having DNS table issues, using the IP rather than the URL will bypass the problem.

okay pinged the site

They're very sneaky - Try http://38.106.4.205/index.aspx?page=376 that should get you to the subdivision page.

okay that works Stephen but

I cannot open any of the links on that page...

my isp is working on it

thanks for the help with tracert it may have been critical to finding the source of the problem, now if my laptop will stop freaking out over all the doshell windows....

my isp is working on it

Have you checked your firewall?
You may have it in your "blocked sites/domains" list somehow.

Router Time and Time Zone...

Just had a similar experience. Somehow the time and time zone was changed. Once corrected, everything worked.

FWIW,

Matt

Router Time and Time Zone...

I will check into the router time and time zone. The problem I am having is with navigation at one particular site, one that I visit on a regular basis and now all of a sudden I am having problems navigating to the various page of that site.

thnaks for your help
