I can't access any dot.tk domains.

I get this problem on on INTERNET EXPLORER and FIREFOX. I get "cannot be found. Please check the name and try again" messages and "Server could not be found" messages

examples:
http://www.dot.tk
http://www.kailas.tk
http://www.dhzone.tk (my domain)
and not even the main domain registration pages
www.dot.tk

What has happened, I'm searching google for answers,

Just checked out www.dot.tk and I managed to get on to this site fine using IE6

Try checking your computer for viruses and/or spy/adware.

I had a similar problem before and I eneded up re-installing windows as I couldnt be bothered to scan for viruses, this worked.

hope this helps :)

Dont think you can, know you can

although I never heard that there's a scumware that'll make you unable to open a .tk domains... that is a one big possibilities...

so if you can't find the scumware by doing virus/scumware check, wallis_online's solution is the best...

or maybe you'd like to post a `hijackthis` log at the security & virus thread, after you're sure that you have tried checking for the virus/scumware yourself by using a couple standard checking tools...

other possibility I can think of: the route from your home to .tk is just not good enough... have you tried pinging the domains? or do: nslookup [domain_here] and ping the IP address? have you check with your ISP? maybe they block it or something...
