Certain sites?

[Siyico1]

Hey guys im having some really weird problems. I cant access certain sites? i get the ''This page cannot be diplayed'' its really fucken weird. it wont work with IE or Firefox. I have an Ethernet cable leading from my modem to my bedroom, to this laptop but the pc can open all websites with no problem at all ;S... HELPP?

Maybe there is a firewall or some restriction problems, or it may be due to an internal problem, if you cannot fix it yourself I suggest you get some professional help, perhaps Geek Squad. Or if you have one the warranty. Maybe I can help talk to me on MSN.

with ff try pipelining

Try though a proxy, if it works through a proxy, you know it's a firewall. Then all you have to do is disable it.

First of all, Try the site with www.hidmyass.com - If it works with it - As someone said : It's Your Firewall.

Maybe you got some spywarisch program which changed you're 'host-file'.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and then you'll see a file called 'host' with no extension. Now open it in notepad and paste it here in a [/code]

Okay Java.com works through a proxy. I killed my firewall but it still does not work without a proxy ;S

Ok, first, go to Start < Run < ipconfig /flushdns

if this didn't help, then download the newest Java version from:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

If this didn't help, Open Internet Explorer Go To Tools < Internet Options < Connections < Lan Settings and make sure that your settings are like these:


If this didn't help - You'll need to download SpyBot S&D and start a scan.
You'll have Spyware Probs.

If none of these helped - Post here.
