This might be lengthy as to save time and I hope someone here can help me. I cannot view a certain webpage. The webpage I cannot view is www.raiderfans.net (Yes I know I should root for another team LOL) I am a member there and have always been able to view and post there. The website is working fine and I have made no additions to my sytem or system changes. I have been in contact with the site admin and he has tried to help me do various things. I will tell you what I have tried. AGAIN I can connect to everypage but one. Here is what I have:
I am running XP
I have verizon DSL as my ISP (modem is plugged directly into computer)
I do not have a router.
He has 3 other verizon members that have the EXACT same problem. We can view the internet but not his site but we ALL used to be able to. Here is what I have tried to date with his help
cleared cookies and all that stuff
ran ad-aware
disabled firewall(windows firewall-I dont have a personal one) and tried to connect (i turned it back on after this failed)
disabled popup blocker
He thought it might be IE so he had me scrap IE and download Firefox browser. I am currently using firefox and like it. still no luck
I went to a command line and tried to “ping” his site…not succesful
he had me try something called “tracert” and it said :unable to resolve target system name raiderfans.net
I cold booted my dsl modem. same thing “unable to find raiderfans.net”
I have called Verizon 6-7 times and get the same thing “well since you can view the internet it is not us”……Its funny because he ONLY has 3 members having problems and we are all using Verizon. So here I sit at your mercy hoping someone has some time and can help me.
