Issues with webpage display

silentbob7250 · 05-18-2007, 06:11 PM

Hi, hoping that someone might be able to help me with an issue. I have been trying to open a website (www.gangstermind.com) which in the past i have had no issues or problems with. But now i get the message that I.E cannot display the page. Have run spyware and anti virus with no change to the result. Settings seem OK. Can anyone give me some advice please , would be appreciated.

Can you ping the site?

ping www.gangstermind.com

silentbob7250 · 05-18-2007, 06:44 PM

Please ignore my ignorance, but have no idea how to do it , and dont have the actual I.P. address for the site ?

**cjessee** · 05-18-2007, 06:45 PM

You don't need the actual IP address...
Hit the Windows Key + R and type cmd in the box and hit enter.

Then - type ping www.gangsterwhatever.com

Thanks for that , kept getting a timed out message

Someone is blocking it...

silentbob7250 · 05-18-2007, 06:56 PM

OK, any ideas on how this might happen? Or what can be done to rectify it ? Appreciate your help.

It depends on where you are accessing it from. Home? Work?

It also depends on what country you are in.

I would start with your ISP.

You may also be denied access from the site admin itself.

Accessing from private PC at home, my account there is still open (checked from mates PC) Have had no issues in the past with access, maybe is site admin...

Could be banned by IP - if you have been doing something wrong.

I would try e-mailing the site admin and see if something is up with your account or your IP.

Don tthink there would be any issues with my usage of the site. But guess you can never be sure. Cant email them , support is via internal link on the website :( Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.

Tried to ping a few other sites as well, no luck with a number of them, possibly a settings issue ?
