[QUOTE="drjekyll, post: 1160067, member: 183902"] Hi, There are certain websites that when I try to access, i get the message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at (website).com" Some of the sites never work like yahoo.com (I can still use the search bar) ehow.com and a few others. Some sites sometimes work Youtube.com Google.com gmail.com and a large amount of others. Here are some things I have done to try and fix it. I switched to different browsers (firefox, safari, and chrome) I did a virus scan with ClamXav and found no infected files I deleted all browser history and cache as well as the dns cache. I haven't changed any network settings. I have tried on different wifi networks as well as tested the sites on my laptop with the same wifi network. My laptop can access those sites but my puter won't on any network. If i use a proxy, I can access these sites however there is no reason my ip would be banned from them. I tried changing to open dns, didn't help at all. Anyone know how to fix this? [/QUOTE]
