Is Something Wrong With Me Or Net?

[der]

Geez ,,, I am sorry to bother you but am not sure if this is something that has to do with me or the internet itself. I can get online (obviously) but I can't go far ,,, I can get here ,,,, I can get into my google gmail account ,, I cant get to anything in yahoo or msn. At first, I thought it might be my server as half the state was shut down yesterday ,, so I called them and went through their little check. But, is still that way ,,, so now I am wondering if it is ,,, I dont know ,,,, my puter??? internet problems that have nothing to do with me???? Should I be checking something ,, should I stop bugging you or what?????

That is a bit strange but it kinda sounds like on thier end. However i would like to check on something. Please download this tool - http://www.funkytoad.com/download/hoster.zip

Open it and double click on Hoster.exe file. Then after it opens up click "restore original Hosts". then tick the "Make hosts readonly?" button. Now reboot and retry those sites.


Oh and its no bother either so please dont feel like it is.. :tiphat:

Well I would love to download that tool ,.,., but ,.,., I can't hmy: ,, when I try, I get "this page cannot be displayed" .... see what I mean? I cant seem to do much of anything. I guess I am lucky I can even get in here!~

Try downloading firefox browser form my sig line here.

:censored: :censored: :censored: I get the same thing ,, 'this page cannot be displayed'

[Mobo]

Internet explorer/ tools/ internet options /

security tab - default level

Privacy tab - default level

advanced tab - default as well.

Close ie then reopen.

[der]

ok ,, I did that ,,, except the privacy default tab was not highlighted, so was not able to do that one ,,, re-opened - came here -- also tried to go to msn ,, other places ,,, no go

Mobo ,, I am going to call it a night ,, shut the puter down and get back to this in the morn - have to be back up in 5 hours - maybe things will look better in the morn [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]

[Mobo]

Ok, we can resume tomorrow..

[der]

well I am back - will be in and out until I see you are around. Everything is still the same here. Last night my server recommended that I uninstall my Zone Alarm and re-install it. Although, I didn't think that was the problem ,,,, I did it anyway when I turned the puter on this morn ,,,, made no difference. What a pain this is
