Cannot Load Certain sites

Shadow Loxx · 01-01-2006, 11:34 PM

Certain sites will not load. I know the sites are there, as I have gone to friends house's and log on to my user names there.

It says

I am not sure what to do.

I know I havent been banned, or suspended.
And I can go to other sites, but just not this one.

Hi, and welcome to TSF. I would suggest this to be a firewall issue. What A-V or anti-spyware applications do you have on? Just noticed the . after com, it shouldn't be there, and may cause a fault.

The extra " . " I am not sure why that keeps appearing there. I use Spybot I believe.

Oh thank you for welcoming me here.

Yeah I get this on certain websites.

Batty, that period is only there to end the sentence. It's not in the address bar.

This problem hasnt lifted yet. its been about 5 days, since this problem has started.

Use the edit button, preferences, privacy tab, find and click the "clear all histories" button. It will forget everyplace you've been, but perhaps also the problem. And look in the advanced tab for more settings.

Still not working, it may be a problem with HTTP:// sites, I am told. But my computer skills are not good.

You could try changing the period of time Firefox tries to connect before giving up:

* Type about:config in the address bar.
* Type network.http into the 'Filter' field.
* Look below for a line that says, network.http.keep-alive.timeout
* Double-click on the line.
* Change the value to '600' in the box that appears.
* Click OK.
* Close and restart Firefox.

Yeah I figured it out, a former room mate just told me he blocked the site.

Nice roommate eh?
