i cant log onto certain websites from my home pc. srtforums and a few other forums being the main ones. I can access them from work and other places but not home. something is obviously blocking me from the websites (no im not banned or anything like that) and i really need help considering im about to become a vendor on some of these sites. please help with a detailed description of what i should do to fix this. thanks a lot!
its the generic "this page cannot be displayed" message. says it could be due to mispelling and bs like that. cant get a screen shot now, at work. anyone?
I would first try clearing your internet cache. It might be trying to load up an invalid page from your cache. If you are using Internet Explorer:
Tools > Internet Options > delete your Temporary Internet Files
If that doesn't fix it, try going to Google and searching for the page you want to goto and click the link (in case you misspelled something).
If that also doesn't work, I would say try to ping the website itself. Goto
Start > Run >type "CMD" (without quotes) [Enter] > type "ping www.srtforums.com" (without quotes)
If you get replies your browser is messed up somehow. Check the Security tab in Internet Options and check your security levels, they should be between Medium and Medium-High. Also check your Restricted and Trusted Sites.
That should be a good first round of troubleshooting.
He said he cannot get to certain sites. If he said cannot get to any site then I would agree with a DNS issue or network hardware issue or something of the sort.
Unless of course his ISP doesn't have root hints configured correctly...but that's just rediculous.

Like I said check your security settings.
And ping is a necessity to make sure you can even contact the domain. If you can't but you can get to Google, you're being blocked from the domain. Maybe Ekool has a firewall that has your IP shunned or something.
forgot to mention...i WAS able to get on the forums and others sites before. happened one day out of the blue. and im about 100% sure my comp doesnt have any virus, it runs perfect (always has)
