Problem accessing website

[delboy]

Not sure if anyone can shed any light on the problem I'm having.

Basically the problem is that I can't get on to this site on my PC. I have no problem getting on to others and I can connect ok on my laptop. It appears to be just this site I can't connect to.

I don't get any messages,just the standard web page the appears when a particular sight cannot be found or doesn't exist.

I've reset all IE's default settings but it hasn't made any difference. It doesn't make any difference if I type the full address in
or try to reach this site via a search engine either.

Has anybody any ideas?

Delboy,

I don't get your post I'm afraid. Do you mean you can log in to this site on other PC's but you can't on yours????

Now, it sometimes happens that you can't access this site. I have that problem too once in a while but it usually lasts some thirty minutes. Could be a server that is too busy or people posting at the same time, I don't know. It happens to many websites so....

But that doesn't resolve your problem!

I understand that you use IE. Did you activate the phishing filter there? Maybe your IE considers this site as "dangerous". Do you have a virusscanner which automatically blocks "suspicious" sites. Maybe you can check that list there.

Maybe you should install Firefox as a browser and check if the problem occurs there too? If you don't like FF, you can easily remove it afterwards and it never replaces or deletes your IE.

If nothing I've written here helps, feel free to come back and give more details!

I'll try and elaborate.

Just recently, when I have been using a search engine after it's returned some hits and I clicked on one, it never took me to that site,something hijacked my connection and took me to a completely different site altogether.

I had to backspace and click the link a second time before it took me to the correct site.

I've managed to resolve this problem and was wondering if the problem getting on to this site was somehow related.

I've tried pinging but I don't get a reply.I don't have any problems connecting to other sites I've turned phishing filter off and have tried connecting with my AV protection and Zonealarm disabled,but it doesn't make any difference.

I've just installed Firefox but I still can't get on
