Re: [DSL] Can't connect to certain websites...
HI Geek!!!
How is it going over in the sunny Florida?!? I have changed my ISP yesterday and it seems that the problem is really on my pc. I can't still access the websites like NBA.com, ESPN.com and Friendster.Is there a problem on my Ethernet card?! I have re-installed it already and the problem is still there. I also tried to use OpenDNS once again for this new ISP and no resolution yet. Do you think this could still be solved?!? Do I need now to buy a new Ethernet card!?? |

| I'm back in New Jersey and it looks like rain for an entire week so no sun here 
From a previous post above, you were getting out onto the Internet before you ran into an issue so it doesn't seem like your PC is preventing access.
Can you run another tweak test at »/tweaks since your previous one has expired.

| Oh, so you're back in NJ now. Anyway, this is my new tweak test. »/tweakr/block:···nXPpppoe
Hopefully, you could notice anything that is not normal for dsl so, I could change it immediately. |

| It looks ok other then a slightly low MTU but that shouldn't be an issue.
Do you have a firewall or Internet suite running on your computer?
Is anything on the router configured for a firewall or SPI?
Just for giggles, have you run a virus scan on your computer making sure your virus definitions are up to date?
Have you tried a different browser to see if that had any effect?
I am on my phone on my way to the office so it is hard to check if you posted any answers to these already.

| Well, I do only have Windows firewall on my pc. And I have already tried to disabled it several times to check my connectivity. Also, I'm using Avast Pro V. 4.8 as my anti-virus software and it updates itself automatically every day. I don't think my anti-virus is blocking any access coz' I have checked that already. i have tried both IE, firefox and Safari as my browsers and wait... Oh my goodness!!! You know what?!? I was just able to access NBA, ESPN w/o any proxies. Whoah! I was doing some tweaks w/ Dr. TCP last night and I think I have hit the jackpot! I am all good to go now! I can browse any website w/ ease already. Thanks man for all your help!! Have a good day!!! Well, I will let you know later if this is not a fluke. I will try to access it again once I get home from work!!! Keep ballin!!!! |

| Well actually, I celebrated too soon!!! After being able to access sites such as NBA.com, ESPN.com for at least 3 days, it came back to haunt me again. When I went online this afternoon, I tried to access NBA again and to my dismay I can not access it anymore. I did not change any settings in my connection after I tweaked it using Dr.TCP 3 days ago. I tried to re-do my tweaking and yet it did not work.
Well, back to square one for me again. I hope I could resolve as soon as possible and I will let you know Koops. Have a good day!!! |
