[pcmatty]

Hi all. Im viewing internet from my parents web feed next door. I have used alot of adaptors even my newest 1 belkin which is powerfull. My internet exsplorer cant seem to open certain sites like hmv and facebook. My dad reckons it ie not configed proply but when used to live at my flat i had broadband and had no probs acesing them sites. Anyone know what it could be? It not just mine it my sis pc to which is downstairs. Hope can help. Matty.

Are the sites all ones you log in to?
What message are you getting?
What version Internet Explorer?
Can Firefox open these sites?

erm some are but it just dnt open at all. i get this error come up.

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.


its so annoying as i can access alot more sites its just silly ones i cant get into. like hmv and facebook .

OK, and the answers to my other questions?

I would clear your temporary internet files next.

What version Internet Explorer? 7
Can Firefox open these sites? no same problem.

If both Firefox and IE can't open them, something odd is going on.... much like I had a couple of days ago - I could not reach a forum or my email and it magically cleared up a day later.

Are you on Sky broadband by chance?

Right, so what anti-virus and anti-spyware and firewall software do you have? I am thinking you got those pages into the "bad page" files
