Loads fine here...

Wingco1 · May 07, 2006, 19:44:15

Thanks Bill, further info is rather confusing

I can access from the W98 box which is hard wired to the router, but not from the lappy which is wireless connected.

However I can tracert and ping from the Lappy.

I have deleted all cookies referring to the website to no avail.

Same happens with FF and IE6

You could try ipconfig /flushdns in your run box which would purge the DNS resolver cache

Doesn't work on Win98....

wingco, are you running a firewall on the laptop? See what happens if you disable it (safe enough for a few minutes). My firewall has an oddity which won't let be access a couple of sites.

Jeff · May 07, 2006, 22:11:37

lol, doesn`t even exist on w98 ... should read more carefully, huh?

Bill · May 07, 2006, 23:03:04

Well, ipconfig exists on Win98, so it's a fair enough mistake. It's the /flushdns that doesn't

Have you ever had problems with a firewall denying certain sites? NetVada is temporary on my set up so I haven't bothered to try to fix it, I'll likely switch to Kaspersky when my NAV subscription expires.

"You could try ipconfig /flushdns in your run box which would purge the DNS resolver cache"

Tried that didn`t work

"Doesn't work on Win98...."

But It`s the lappy that has the probs XP Home

Glad it worked, just don't ask me why

mrapoc · May 08, 2006, 20:39:15

oh god dont say the word norton
terrible program - guzzles resources, hardly finds viruses, overpriced and the firewall does the opposite to what u want

bitdefender 9 professional plus ftw

You get what you pay for...

I didn't even pay for my operating system, and it works great...

...that's Linux for ya

...that's Linux for ya

OK, so there are a few exceptions

mrapoc · May 09, 2006, 15:30:19

most free anti spyware is better than paid for ones such as adaware is better than spysweeper

btidefender scans for spyware too
