[QUOTE="nickt, post: 183410, member: 4923"] I don't know too much about this, but flushing your dns cache might help. [URL="http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/ClearingBrowserCache"]How To Clear Your DNS Cache[/URL] Computers sometimes remember a failed page and keep failing even though the problem cleared. You could also try (for troubleshooting purposes) going to one of the free anonymizer sites like [URL="http://anonymouse.org/"]Anonymouse.org[/URL] or [URL="http://www.hidemyass.com/"]Hide My Ass! Free Proxy and Privacy Tools - Surf The Web Anonymously[/URL] If those proxy sites work, maybe try changing your dns settings temporarily. Take a look at [URL="http://www.opendns.com"]Internet Security or DNS Service for your Business or Home - OpenDNS[/URL] They have free dns servers and instructions how to change. it can be done on the router or on the device. We have opendns set up on my daughter's devices here with family filter and our parent devices go with the default Verizon dns.
