    Only ONE (mine) website won't load.
    « on: April 19, 2011, 09:27:47 AM »
    Two weeks ago my website stopped showing up in IE.

    -Others can see it on their computers. But not any comps in my home.
    -It is owned by me, so not banned.
    -Worked fine for past 2 yrs.
    -Cleaned up all cookies and temp files, reset router, used ccleaner.
    -Hosting company said it is working properly.
    -Using a free proxy to view website works.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me nuts.  ::)

    Use win7.

    Does it work in other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome)?

    Have you checked the HOSTS file?

      What is a hosts file?

      First answer the other question please - then we'll determine if we need to modify the hosts file.

        -Tried downloading Firefox-- Will not work in that either.

        -By the way the site I'm trying to reach is foreclosureventurecapital.com

        -Looked up HOSTS file, this is what is in it,

        # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
        #
        # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
        #
        # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
        # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
        # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
        # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
        # space.
        #
        # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
        # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
        #
        # For example:
        #
        #      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
        #       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

        # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
        #   127.0.0.1       localhost
        #   ::1             localhost

        Temporarily disable your anti-virus app and try (or try in Safe Mode with Networking)
