    Cant access a website..
    « on: September 03, 2008, 09:43:53 PM »
    Hi there.  out of the blue, we cant access www.carmax.com from our home computer anymore.  The site is currently up and running, because I can access it from work.  No changes have been made to our computer, and absolutely everything else works just fine.  I tried to send myself a link from another computer, and that wouldnt work either.  What the heck is going on and how do I fix it?  I routinely get my updates, do clean-ups/defrags, and check for spyware/adware.  Thanks in advance...

      Check your browser settings, and make sure it doesnt block any sites or anything.

        Browser is Internet explorer. When I try to access the page it says "I/E can't access webpage", then it lists I think 3 possible causes (cant connect to internet, page is down and something else), none of which apply.

        Try this yet?
        Check your browser settings, and make sure it doesnt block any sites or anything.

        If you have and with no results, try downloading FireFox and see if you can get to that web page.

          Are there any IP address forbidden?

          I assume you mean in the Host File?

          In IE click tools and than internet options....than click on security and than click the restricted icon to see if its listed there....

          Maybe the cache is due for cleaning...
