Certain websites won't load

ElementZ · 10-25-08, 06:58 PM

I am having a problem connecting to certain websites and I can't figure it out. Some of the websites I am having problem connecting to are www.greco.ca, www.saintjohntransit.com, and I can connect to Full Tilt Poker's website, but I can't download the software.

Not sure what is going on, I can connect to other websites like hotmail, facebook, banking, ebay, etc. I tried my laptop and my desktop and both are doing the same thing. I tried explorer and firefox to no avail. Ran virus scanners and nothing. I have been on these websites previously but aren't coming up now. I was looking to having a quiet evening tonight playing some online poker but I guess that won't be happening.

Any suggestions?

Trying everything and can't figure this out. Tried the sites at work today and they were fine so now I know it's on my end. Don't understand how they can work one day and not the next.

Might be your DNS servers. Try to switch to opendns.com and see if you still have problems.

Also check your
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I am unable to get to opendns.com.

What should I be looking for in that host path?
