I've been trying to get on this website for the past two days, All other websites work fine for me but this one doesn't, all other people I've asked have been able to get on it just fine, but I have not. It's not just on Firefox either, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome cannot load this website for me.

Do you have any security software that filters the URLs you can visit? It could be part of your firewall or privacy software -- or parental control software if you are of a certain age.

If those are not relevant, do you have any sites beside localhost listed in your Windows hosts file? Most people do not ever need to edit their hosts file, but some may have added sites to the file to block ads (that doesn't always work well) or malware may be using the file to redirect good URLs to bad sites. Microsoft has a tool to reset your hosts file back to factory settings. You might want to make a backup first in case you need to refer to the file later. More info: How can I reset the Hosts file back to the default? (MSKB 972034).

No, All my security software I've made to allow sites, specifically that site since i'm the webmaster of it.

As for your solution, it unfortunately didn't work, I did it step by step manually to no avail, I'm not sure what to do at this point.

If you ping the domain, do you get anything?

Start > Run > cmd.exe

I get these results:


ping dmworld.myfastforum.org

Pinging dmworld.myfastforum.org [109.169.13.188] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 109.169.13.188: bytes=32 time=154ms TTL=50 Reply from 109.169.13.188: bytes=32 time=154ms TTL=50 Reply from 109.169.13.188: bytes=32 time=154ms TTL=50 Reply from 109.169.13.188: bytes=32 time=154ms TTL=50

If you can't get an IP address, your DNS provider (usually your ISP) may have a problem. If you get the address but the ping times out, your ISP might be blocking the site, or you might be banned (unlikely, I know, but with dynamic IP addresses, you might have gotten one banned for spamming).

I Got 4 Request Timed-out, Do you have any Suggestions to find out ways to see if its blocked? I Don't know what would be blocking it but my computer has quite alot of programs.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

> I Got 4 Request Timed-out

They timed out trying to reach the address I reached? Since this is not a Firefox issue, you might try a forum that has a broad purview of Windows XP networking issues. For example:

http://windowssecrets.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/38-Windows-XP

(That isn't one of the boards I moderate, but I can see that a good number of people are still active on it.)
