How to fix Site not showing up in browser

[thevirtual]

I am having a problem where I cannot access a site with any browser. I have had this issue before which lasted an entire week.

Any idea how I can fix this? I have deleted cookies but the site is still not showing up...

What site is it?
Do you have a firewall?
Which browser/OS are you using?

The site happens to be Snapnames.

I have had this problem last month which lasted for a week, where I couldn't access the site.

I have tried all browsers with the same problem.

Try http://207.189.119.28

Thanks, however that link is not working.

I am getting a Timeout error message.

 

[Theo]

Well, that's then an issue with your ISP.

Thanks

I will try to use a different computer in the meantime. For some reason I am getting these browser issues only when using domain dropcatching sites I have had a similar problem accessing Pool and Namejet sites recently.

If you have a software firewall up, disable it temporarily.
The dedicated IP I posted above should have gotten you to the Snapnames page; therefore it's not a cached DNS issue. Are you on a direct connection via cable, or over a router? Ethernet or wireless etc.

I am using a Wireless router

I have the same problem with some sites, my problem is caused by Kaspersky

OK. There is a chance you need to:

1. Reboot it (power down, wait 1 min, restart)
2. Configure it in ways that ensure proper flow of web traffic.

Disconnect your wireless router and hardwire your laptop/pc directly into the modem.
If you still can not connect to those sites, it could be more likely your ISP's problem.

I had this issue years ago with the ICANN website what I could not access and it drove me nuts. Finally the problem was my ISP (Time Warner) at that time, they fixed it in a heartbeat.

Hope that helps.

You can try this from the command line:
tracert www.snapnames.com
Perhaps it's a failure at some node in between

I tried pasting this into the Navigation bar "tracert www.snapnames.com". No response



I have found a temporary solution, using a Proxy, but I will try to reset the router. If that doesn't work I will have to wait a couple of days and see if access is restored.

thanks

google is your friend...

check that the mtu setting of your router is correct for the type of connection that you have, maybe try lowering it a bit to see if it resolves the problem. Incorrect setting can cause some sites not to load.
