Title: Can't access one certain website
Post by: Mahleumon on February 20, 2011, 10:43:27 AM

Problem with website: beatthegeek.com

Info:

From desktop I can access site just fine.
From laptop I have been able to access site with no problems, but just recently, my laptop won't connect to beatthegeek.com at all.

What I have checked

1.  All other websites connect with no problem.
2.  I have tried both IE and Firefox, no connection with either.
3.  I have checked both browsers Privacy settings and site isn't in blocked sites.
4.  I have checked Host file and website isn't listed.
5.  I have asked website owner if he blocks IP addresses and if mine was perhaps blocked, but it isn't.
6.  I have ran HijackThis and log looks normal.

Also, when I do a google search the site comes up black not blue and isn't click-able.  See below:(http://i54.tinypic.com/ddgyo6.png)

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,
Dan

No I can't.  Browser just sits there.   Isn't that the IP from beatthegeek.com though?

Yes. I wanted to see, if it's not DNS issue.

See, if you can get to the site from Safe Mode with Networking.

Could your own ISP be blocking it?

Do both your desktop and laptop use the same internet connection? If not, I think you could follow up Fed's suggestion above.

I can't access the site from Safe Mode with Networking and both computers use the same internet.

Were you booted off the site ? ?

Good thought, Patio.

Delete cookies and try again. If that works then create a new login and have at it.

Try going to the web site thought a proxy, if it does work contact you isp and im pretty sure what cause it is you ip not working at the right time, all so try ping the web page,

Start, Click run
type command
once open type ping (url of site)
if i comes up with sever not found it should be able to be fixed by a call to you isp

Does your antivirus software have the capability of blocking certain websites?  If so, check the list of which ones it's blocking.

Are you running firewall software on that computer with similar blocking capability?  If so, check there as well.
