So, i got one for ya! On friday i noticed a few pages i visit were 'down'...i figured they'd be up soon.... after a couple days, i received an email saying i received a private msg, strange since the page is down.... at school i was able to load the page.... ok. so i came home, tried again....got the this page cant be loaded error. ok. so i reset my router, still can't load. ok. take my cable line in, bypass the router, right into a pc, page loads. ok. so its the router. check EVERY setting, as i haven't changed anything in six months.... can't find anything. so i bite the bullet and call linksys. get some foreign non english speaking person, but is knowledgable.... we try updating the firmware, resetting to default setting....everything. can't load the page. wtf?!?!?! he says my router may have been fried by a power surge, but that doesn't make sense....why only two pages (found another page) not loading...when literally hundreds of others are... nothing special about these two pages that wont load, as you can see... www.fish-hawk.net www.ontariofishingnetwork.com neither will load for me, behind the router, but as i said, will load with a direct line in.... any suggestions or router experts? i dont want to have to buy a new router, considering there really isn't anything wrong with this one.

wired or wireless connection? firwall software on your pc? any entries in your Hosts file with these sites listed? Golly gee wilerkers everyone. Learn to Internet Search

wired. no firewall software on pc. no firewall running on router. i am able to access the sites from the pc, without router running. i forget how to check for enteries in my host file with the sites (took networking many years ago) (thanks for all the help btw)

Here's a link to a thread that follows the steps i've taken, and the problem that continues... it seems we have narrowed down the problem, but are still unable to solve it. http://ontfish.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1130773019

you should run a firewall if you want to avoid viruses My Website
