I am unable to access one website
I have contacted the site and everything is fine on their end.
I have called my ISP and they say it is a problem with my computers. I took my laptop to the library and the site came up just fine from their wireless connection but doesn't come up from home..
Any ideas?
 
I tried CCleaner and still no go.
Could it be a problem with my router?
My laptop and my desktop do not pull up designerdigitals at home but when I took my laptop to the library I was able to pull up the site just fine,
 
Well what error do you get when you try to go there.

for example does it say the servers couldn't be reached or the request timed out
 
Also, have you tried to turn off your firewall (temporarily)
The wireless network may be a new profile in your Firewall, which allows it.
 
It says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and seems the request timed out. The server can be reached because I have accessed the site from my laptop through the wireless connection at the library.
I am unable to access through my router with my desktop and laptop at home
I turned off the firewall and that doesn't seem to be helping either. It has to be something with the router because the site cannot be accessed from any computers in the house. Any ideas on what to do next?
 
Start --> Run--> cmd /c ipconfig /all >Desktop\ipconfig.txt < ok>

And post the ipconfig.txt (on your Desktop) as an attachment here

(Although I need to step out for a couple of hours)
 
hmm, so you can reach the site on your laptop but not from your home connection.

wonder if joebeard is around, he is probably the best at this kind of thing

enable that firewall please.

you test accessibility with these tests

and if the browser will not access A(or some) pages, then empty the
browser History and Cache (quit the browser) Then follow with:

run->cmd
ipconfig /flushdns
net stop "DNS Client"
net start "DNS Client"
 
Here's the site: http://209.200.238.175/ please click on it to test

Otherwise:

Please try pinging it
Start-->Run-->CMD

On the command line type:

Ping 209.200.238.175

You are suppose to get 4 replies

You can then try:

tracert 209.200.238.175

Which can tell you where the hold up is (you may need to copy/paste the results)
 
When I pinged the site request timed out four times

I don't know what it means - Thanks so much for all your help!
 
Actually I found a Windows gui version of Tracert here: http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/ftrace/wftrace.exe
Once downloaded to desktop and ran (no pic in icon) you can copy and paste easier.

Regarding your Tracert though
It looks like the ICMP it gets out of your modem and computer, but when it gets to 208.65.158.130 it fails. (?)

This address 208.65.158.130, looks to be either blocked inside your firewall setings (you have confirmed not firewall) or stopped inside your router (modem)

You are going to have to go to http://192.168.1.1 (basically the configuration screen of your router)
And find where this ip is blocked, you may need your manual (or ISP Support) to confirm the settings


Please reply back, once you are able to confirm your router settings (funny you suspected that from the start)
 
Are you using Internet Explorer, the other thing I thought of was maybe it was added to your blocked sites list somehow
 
the tracert shows you have TCP connectivity.

can not be. your firewall is not blocking ICMP (the data used for ping and tracert)
so it can't impact the 208.65.158.130 failure.

the url for www.designerdigitals.com is hosted on server at 209.200.238.175 and both are accessible (at least to me)

my routing (from Southern Calif.) is as follows

so that system is running today.

btw: nslookup for www.designerdigitals.com from my end shows
the IP Address: 24.28.199.152 ; totally bogus!

Please try the http://209.200.238.175/ address again;
it looks as if the site that was failing was preempting your access --
nothing to do with your syste, per se :)
 
Oh icmp=data outside windows Doh!

I looked up 208.65.158.130 on Google, and others who had issues on this address said configuring the router fixed it.

Yes the site is up, but the user can't access it
Also 24.28.199.152 (bogus) isn't that just a hop to disregard?

You know out of all the Hardware/Software/Windows/Spyware; IP configuration interests me the most (possible because I have so much to learn)

But back to my point. Isn't this router issue, locally ?
 
okay i tried again
here is what I got

tracert uses the ping technique. The firewall or router ALLOWS or DENYS ping
data, regardless of the IP address. Therefore, if you can get a ping reply with
timing from one site, you can get it from ALL sites :)

Getting a ping reply only says that a) the system is running,
b) the interface is allowing ping replies. It does not say that the webserver is running
and serving webpages on port 80.

Sometimes our browsers get fouled up and misbehave -- so I'll show you how to
prove a webserver IS serving pages.

(for concrete, repeatable results, let's use www.google.com as the target site)
1- find out if the system is running; ping www.google.com
you should get four replies with timing info:
Code:
Reply from 74.125.19.99: bytes=32 time=40ms TTL=243
2- access the site without a browser
Code:
get a command prompt (run->cmd)
(blue lines are what you enter and green lines are what you get back)
enter the following exactly
[INDENT]
[COLOR="Blue"]telnet www.google.com 80[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Green"]Trying 74.125.19.103...
Connected to www.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]GET / HTTP/1.0
<enter key without any data>[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Green"]HTTP/1.0 200 OK   [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]<<< the server produced a page[/COLOR]
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Set-Cookie: PREF=ID=f3d4254c98c805c7:TM=1205352574:LM=1205352574:S=dH-5lezK1Lm0t

Server: gws
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:09:34 GMT
Connection: Close

(and a bunch of html deleted for brevity)
[/COLOR]
[/INDENT]

so I attempted to access your site:
Code:
$[COLOR="Blue"] telnet 208.65.158.130 80[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Green"]Trying 208.65.158.130...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: [COLOR="Red"]Connection refused[/COLOR][/COLOR]
The server located at 208.65.158.130 is not running!
My firewall shows the access to the site (so it's not blocking port 80)

Test#2
I forced the firewall to block this IP address on port 80
Code:
$ telnet 74.125.19.99 80
Trying 74.125.19.99...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: [COLOR="Red"]Connection timed out[/COLOR]
Notice a blocked site gets a timeout, a non-running site gets Connection Refused
 
So like I was saying, shouldn't they try a different browser, I never got a response if this was in Internet Explorer
 
from the above analysis, the specific browser is irrelevant -- the site is not reliable
(ie comes and goes).

as of 3/13/2008 15:44 PDT, the system is up (ie can be pinged)
but the server is down (can't connect, connection refused)
 
No it's not a browser issue (that's why it was not answered)

I'm interested! please show me the URL
Regarding 208.65.158.130
http://www.lunarforums.com/lunarpages_webhosting_help/no_access_to_web-t46599.0.html

Notice a blocked site gets a timeout

OK so it must be blocked

So is this a port 80 block? Actually I can't see that, because other sites work.

Therefore this must be a site block, within the firewall (or maybe router, if individual sites can be blocked)

So Jobeard what was your recommendation again?
Why is 209.200.238.175:80 blocked here?

It's up at the moment!

ping www.designerdigitals.com

I was testing 208.65.158.130 which is now bogus :( sorry

retesting on www.designerdigitals.com (209.200.238.175)
works correctly today using the Telnet approach, IE url and FF as well

So Jobeard what was your recommendation again?
Why is 209.200.238.175:80 blocked here?

I corrected the test as shown. However, the issue of
blocking by a local firewall was addressed here
