[QUOTE="weirdy, post: 928397, member: 111403"] Hi there, I seem to be experiencing something similar... I should first declare my technoklutz status *ahem* as I really haven't got a clue! There are 3 websites which I access regularly: bikermatch.co.uk, beadbuddies.co.uk and etsy.com. Since Monday, I've been unable to access all 3 of them and am getting "connection timed out" messages on Firefox & the equivalent on Safari. I'm on an iMac with OS X 10.4.11 and connect wirelessly via a Belkin modem/router. Things I have tried: 1) cleared cache/cookies 2) rebooted everything, manually and via the router's utility 3) disabled firewall 4) a lot of head-scratching I'm with Nildram, which was ultimately taken over by Tiscali, so the primary and secondary DNS servers have been changed from their original settings. I'll have to phone the support people and make sure that's right later when they're available. In the meantime, I'll go a googling for the DNS clearing and flushing methods as mentioned above (you may as well be talking gobbledygook to me! lol) and have a look at this openDNS bit. When I check the security log on my router's utility, I'm finding a lot of entries of this manner: Oct.21.2009 05:12:55 security:Session -- Prot: 6, 192.168.2.2:52922 > 88.159.160.46:80 141701.140 ~ 141744.088 size 432/0 time-out Oct.21.2009 05:13:00 security:141749.028 Blocked Prot=6, 77.67.21.32:80 > 88.110.247.196:52932, AS Seq=-2093330197, Ack=1893152754 -Black List Defens Means pretty much naff all to me, but I can figure that it's blocking the sites or "black listing" them for reasons best known to itself. Why would it suddenly change? I know all 3 sites are functioning perfectly normally, it's just me that can't get in *sulks* If anyone out there has any suggestions of what I can try (preferably explained in a manner best suited to a clueless numpty!) I'd be most grateful. Cheers! :) [/QUOTE]
