I can't get to 1 web site!

[robdemarr]

I can't get to www.jjay.cuny.edu my schools web page from my laptop, here at school or from home. Doesn't matter what ISP I use.  I talked to the IT guy at school and he said it's my problem I tried everything( I think). Virus scan (turned up nothing), cleaned out cache, turned off fire wall, ran in safe mode, did windows update, reset to default settings, I think I tried everything. This started two weeks ago, I've added no hardware/software in months. I have cable and wireless for internet. I'm on Windows 2000 Pro.  This is the only web site I can't get to. I reach www.lib.jjay.cuny.edu just fine. I keep getting can't find server message. I tried firefox and no luck. Any help would be great. I also turned off the pop up blocker (I think).

Thanks again,
Rob

Its working ok from this end.  Try it with a different browser

[robdemarr]

I tried firefox/mozilla....nothing just get the timed out message.  Also, no yellow triangles regarding Java script issues.

Did you install SP2?

You may need to disable the built-in Firewall then. Or reconfigure it.

[robdemarr]

Doesn't SP2 pertain to Windows XP? I have 2000 Pro. How do I get to the Internal Fire Wall thing....?

try the ping command in the cmd prompt  or add this site to the trusted zone site

Try the IP directly. It could be a DNS problem. http:// 209.2.54.45 I noticed that it is not pingable and does not respond to trace. However, I could reach the site with java script and cookies disabled.

http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/
works perfectly for me with javascript and cookies enabled.

Works for me as well. Using Firefox and using a personalized hosts.dat...

You may need to reformat and reinstall Windows if you require to access the web page frequently?

[robdemarr]

(ping command )after the cmd prompt type  ping www.jjay.cuny.edu  this should return packets lost etc..do you get any other error message besides 404?

[robdemarr]

put in the ping www.jjay.cuny.edu and got 4 "timed out" messages  (Packets sent: 4 Returned: 0 Lost: 4
any other ideas?

[merlin_2]

what connection are you using?maybe the site in question takes a while to load and your modem settings need adjusting..like the mtu or ttl..>http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp

I'm using a cable connect the computers in the lower right corner say Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Local Area connection. I'll look into the timing thing.
