    Can't access a site others can
    « on: February 01, 2007, 12:18:55 AM »
    I have a problem getting into a website, that my friends can all access no problem.
    I have tried everything, clearing my history, cookies, etc.
    I have xp and use ie 7.
    The site is http://nfl.getstuff4free.org/
    Would anyone have an ideal why I can't access it? I keep getting Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage? Thanks for any help.

      justjeannie.....  Well theres nothing wrong with the link it works just fine with IE7 ...... There must be something at your end blocking it ........are you connected to some network ? Is this the only site you cant go to ?
      Have you checked to see if its a firewall doing it . Have you tried adding it to your trusted sites ? Tools/Internet options/security tab ..... trusted sites.

      If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

        Thank you for your reply, This is the only site I can't go too. I am only connected to my DSL Provider, is that what you mean?
        I will check my trusted sites, but how do I check to see if its my firewall? thanks

            I just tried shutting off my firewall and that didn't help either.  :-?
