OT: Internet help - The Orange Mane

OK all of a sudden, a site I visit daily isn't working anymore. Thing is it's just on my computer. It works on other computers. I haven't changed any settings, installed anything new, etc. It just stopped working. Anybody know what I can try to fix this? Never seen this happen before so I don't know where to start.

Conklin is on the money, I think. Probably switched to firefox? Most websites are written for IE and its a reality in the industry unfortunately

Clear cookies... Delete files... Run ad aware... reboot... Run ad aware again... reboot. Log into the site.

Actually it's IE. I've always used IE. It never gave me problems until now. Guess I might have to consider it though.

Could be anything really. IE is famous for getting hijacked. Try Opera or Firefox and see if you have the same problem, they are both free.

I'll try TJ's advice and if that don't work I guess it's a new browser for me.

Doubtful its the browser.

The IP could have been banned for some reason.

I have run across this issue at work, on my own websites. Of course, server tech support could not give me any answer and the problem resolved itself in a day or two but there were no virii nor ad/spy/malware programs on my machine.

It was universal as well, across all browsers.
