problems accessing a site

Question

Sorry if i have posted this in the wrong board.     I seem to be having problems accessing a certain site. I have spoke to my ISP about it and they say it has nothing to do with them and it must be my computer. I am 99.9% certain it is them but i would like to check before i go back to them.    I have checked all the common problems it could be, Ie: firewall, stale cookies, blocked site etc but all seem to be fine.   Is there anything else that could be causing it? I also have recently reformated but didnt solve the problem.   Any advice would be welcome.   Thanks

It's not listed in my restricted sites... how do i check the hosts file?   The site is www.812th.com   Thanks

You might get some help if you posted the URL of the site that you cannot get to. Have you checked to see if the site is in your restricted sites list in Internet Explorer? Have you checked to see if it is listed in your hosts file?

Here is a screenshot of what appears.   http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/carcon/812th.gif   If i enter my username/password or click any of the links it refreshes the page.   The webmaster has checked it out and says it is nothing his side as everyone else can view it fine.   I tried on a friends computer and i could access it no problem so im sure it's my ISP as nothing has changed on my computer since i switched to them.

Have you been able to enter this site before. It uses shockwave, so have you installed the flash player? Are your security settings in Internet Explorer set to their default level? Have you tried clearing your temporary internet files?

Yes i have shockwave and it's up to date. Security settings are default and temps are cleaned.

It appears that you can access the site, but you cannot log on to the site.  Is that correct?  It would have been helpful to know this from the beginning, as everything I have suggested assumed that you couldn't even get to the site.  Have you tried adjusting your cookie settings in internet explorer?  Have you tried a different web browser? Steve

Yes sorry i should have said that.   Sometimes it does let me log in via that page but yet wont leave that page, just refreshes.   I tried it with Firefox and tried changing my cookie settings.   Im out of ideas :mansad:
