I will try tomorrow to find a neighbor that is connected to the internet and see if they can make the connection. Will let you know what happens.

I had a similar problem and I resolved it by Right clicking on My Computer, select Explore wiht my browser closed. Expand the tree to C:\Windows\Temporary Internet files, delete the associated cookies and then reopen your browser and try again. HTH Bryan

Hi Bryan, It would be wonderfully easy! I hope your method will solve Leok's problem because I don't have any idea! Thanks a lot for your suggestion! Could you help me understand?... would it be a cookie from valottery designed to block any access? perhaps, Leok won $1 billion and valottery don't want such a visitor again??? ;-) Leok... please would you mind sending that cookie to me (you'll get a link to my e-mail clicking on my name)? I'm very interested in giving it a look-over! Gérard from Paris, France

Hi everyone, Bryan... I'm sorry! I'm French and I don't understand what your "HTH" means! please, could you provide me with some explanation? (does HTH mean Hope This Help?) Gérard from Paris, France

Yes HTH means Hope This Helps. My problem was trying to access my Web-page manager address. It was down for a time so when I tried to access it I get the "The page cannot be displayed" message. I had this address bookmarked and the bookmark's address changed to include the "The page cannot be displayed" message. Deleting the Cookie and the link resolved the problem when the site was back up and running. I then created the new bookmark. Bryan

Hi Bryan, Thanks you for your additional explanations! Effectively, that reminds me of an event on my computer except I just had to delete the bookmark then re-created it to solve the problem... never had to delete a cookie but your suggestion is very interesting and I'll remember it next time! I thought valottery had sent a special kind of cookie to block the access (and of course, I was excited at the prospect of discovering such a special cookie)... but finally, it seems to be a common malfunction of the system. I hope this is the solution to Leok's system. Thanks a lot for your help! Gérard from Paris, France P.S.: Yesterday night, Computing.net kept being unreachable (no IE access, no ping) and I was worrying about it ! fortunately, everything works fine this morning!

Computing.net has been having a few problems I noticed. leok, try looking in your History folder. Do a wave over the link to see if it includes the access message in it's address. Either way, delete every instance of it within the History folder. Bryan

I found a neighbor on line and asked him to try to access valottery. He couldn't access it either.So I went back to the ISP and complained again. My ISP is a local provider here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, which is a remote area. They tell me now that the host of valottery has a problem with their computer; it stopped talking to the ISP computer. And supposedly they are trying to work out the problem. Just wanted to let everyone know what happened. I thank all you guys for your input. Appreciated your comments and trying to help.
