Similar problem here!!!

I have been a member of the following website,

"carsondodge.com/Forums/index.php",

for quite some time and never had a problem accessing this site in the past, but for about the last month or so I have not been able to access this site from my computer and I get the following message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Yet if I go to someone elses computer there is no problem accessing this site.

What gives?

Help?

I am not very computer savy, so try keep it simple.

Try this:

1. if you use IE7... then try resetting the browser. Go to tools, then internet options, then advanced, then click reset. But all settings revert back to default microsoft default settings so you lose homepage settings, bookmarks/favorites, etc. So save before you do it.

2. If you use firefox, try creating new profile. see: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile) for instructions. You don't lose your own settings, preferences, or boomarks/favorites as long as you don't delete existing profile. But new profile will be at firefox's factory default.

3. Maybe double check your computer by scanning with antivirus and/or spyware/malware scanner to be sure computer is clean. Infected computer may cause problems for you when using the internet.

Good Luck and keep us updated with what goes on.

THanks for your interest in my problem. I have checked with antivirus and anti spy. I tried profile with firfox. but no help .the following thing comes up
he connection has timed out

     

     
     
     

     
       
       

         

The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.

       


       
       


    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


THIS happened when i tried orkut same thing happens with other sites i mentioned my first mail

New help please
