[grand]

I can't seem to access splats.com and swingfordollars.com, these are cjbucks websites. I have CONTACTED them and the problem is on MY end...I've deleted cookies, ran spyware....but I still can't get to their sites, I don't get any errors only "this page cannot be displayed"....I also checked with a friend using the same isp and they don't have any problems getting the sites...any ideas...I'm in montreal btw

[Cleo]

What do you get when you run a traceroute?

Have you tried using another browser like Mozilla or Netscape.

[grand]

thanks for the quick reply Cleo,

I tried on netscape but no response, did a tracroute and got the following

I used this site http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.vbs.asp

This is driving me crazy, it was working fine on Sat....

Do a traceroute using your PC not a web app.

I don't use Windows but I think it is done by going to your Start menu and choosing Run and then typing tracert swingfordollars.com

I may have tracert wrong. I'm on a Mac and we type traceroute and I can never seem to remember the way to spell it when I'm using a PC.

That shows the problem is right at your PC and not somewhere on the net.

Are you on DSL or cable or on a dialup? Are you using a router?

What do you have for your DNS in your TCP?

I don't know, maybe try deleting your network settings and then adding them back in.

[grand]

I'm on cable, no router

no dns in my tcp/ip, I have it at obtain automatically

its weird because the sites were working on saturday, then I started having problems and it was loading real slow....now nothing....maybe an issue with my isp???

I really appreciate your help

[Cleo]

I'm sorry I just looked again at that traceroute that you posted and realized that you are getting past your gateway and that it is a router someplace out on the web.

Yeah call up your ISP and bitch.

[Fonz]

I did a tracert on greenguysboard.com and I started to time out to, so OR I doen't understand anything about traceroutes OR since I'm able to get to gg&jim anyway this has nothing to do with it? please let me know

All a traceroute does is show all the routers between you and where you are connecting to.

Strange that it doesn't show you being able to connect to this board, guess you really aren't here.

Actually mine shows that it is having a bit of trouble getting here.

Very strange indeed..

.. consider me invisible

[grand]

I called my isp, they say its not on their end, weridest thing is that I checked with a friend who is on the same isp as me, and they have no problem accessing the sites, and another weird thing is that I have access to the webmaster program, www.cjbucks.com but not to any of their paysites (ex www.splats.com) however for me, if I trying pinging either cjbucks.com or any paysite I get request timed out......

has this happened to anyone else

[Cleo]

Well the traceroute that you posted shows the problem here.

What happens if you use a different name server in your network settings?
Try
205.152.0.5
This one belongs to bellsouth. If you know some proxy servers you could also try that. Mac users use NetShade, don't know if something like that exists for the PC. It's great for seeing what surfers see coming from other counties or getting around router issues.

Also if it was me I would try turning off my cable modem for 10 minutes or so. Also as I said in an earlier post I would try deleting out my network settings, restarting, then adding them back in.

Also I know that PC users like to run Firewalls like Norton System Works that can cause problems. Try turning off all your security stuff and see if the problem goes away.

[grand]

Cleo, I tried everything, no results....I guess its time to give up, can someone ping this site, splats.com and tell me if it times out?

thanks

[Cleo]

finally fixed, I have no idea why....I want to thank Cleo for your great help,

here's what I did, I on a cable modem, and my midem has the option to connect via usb or ethernet card. Originally I was using usb, over the weekend I changed it to connect via my ethernet card, and since then I've had this problem....so few min ago I swicthed back to usb....havn't forgotten that I had changed it, anyway to make a long story short its working....

nonethless its still very weird why it would happen, if I pinged the sites when I was connected with the ethernet card I got "no respose" now that I'm connected with the usb it pings it properly.....who knows

[Cleo]

Isn't there two different settings in your network settings, one for USB and one for Ethernet?

Are they both set up the same?

[grand]

they are both set up the same, its set up to automatically detect setting when it tries to connect to the net....all I needed to do was reset my modem
