Re: Can't Access Web Page

Hi David,

I had actually already tried that and there are no sites in my restricted
sites list.

I use both IE and Firefox and neither is able to access ITV.com.

I'm sure I am just missing something basic and so simple but I can not
figure it out. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

I've found these two tweaks to work in this case. Try purging the TIF file
cache
and flushing the DNS client resolver cache.

Here's how to purge the cache manually:

From the IE menu, click on Tools > Internet Options. In the General tab click
on
the Delete Files in the Temporary Internet files section. You'll be presented
with an option to delete the offline content as well...that helps also.
Another
setting to tweak is the amount of disk space allocated to the cache. Click on
the Settings button and change the disk space to 50 MB.

If you want to have this done automatically and your surfing habits are such
that you do not need to reuse the existing files in the TIF folders, you can
configure IE to purge the files whenever IE is closed. To implement this
feature, click on Tools>Internet Options>Advanced [tab]. Scroll down the
Settings to the Security section and enable "Empty Temporary Internet Files
folder when browser is closed".

Enabling this setting does not affect cookies nor does it delete the offline
content.


To flush and reset a client resolver cache using the ipconfig command

1.
Open Command Prompt window.

2.
Type: ipconfig /flushdns


If still no joy, check the contents of your Retracted sites and Hosts file.
The

That should read. "Restricted sites". Sorry, I shouldn't rely on my spellchecker
without my contact lenses in place.

Hosts file is text file located in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc folder. Open
it
with Notepad.

Hi Meinolf,

They are both at home and run on the same wireless connection. The only
difference is the two operating systems.

Thanks

Hello Millsy,

I have no problems with accessing it. You talk about the XP at home so
where
is the 2000 machine standing?

Best regards

I am having problems accessing a certain webpage my laptop with
Windows 2000. The page in question is www.itv-f1.com

From the desktop in my home (Win XP) I have no problem accessing it
but I can not connect from my laptop (Win 2000). I have checked
everything I can think of to allow it but still nothing. Obviously I
am missing something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
