For the last 5 or os days I have been trying to get onto<br><span><<a target="_blank" href="http://www.kateskates.co.uk">www.kateskates.co.uk</a>>. No, not for me but for a pressie of new and</span><br>rare in this country inline skates for our eldest daughter. I simply<br>cannot get onto the site. Heavy traffic perhaps? Well that's what I<br>thought to start with. I have tried at all times of the day with no<br>luck at all, it simply times out. I have used a Windows XP machine<br>using Firefox, Internet Explorer (aaaghhh, I
hate that browser with a<br>passion) and also Opera. All the browsers are up to date and I do not<br>have any problem with any other website. I have got friends on<br>another mailing list to try the site and, though some report it being<br>slow they all get through. More than one of those friends uses the<br>same ISP as I do so it rules out that. I have checked the firewall<br>settings and all the other anti-malware settings and none are<br>affecting it. So, this morning I trot down to my beloved workshop and<br>try the Kubuntu PC just in case it was Windows blocking it for some<br>reason (why it would I don't know). Exactly the same, I just get a<br>'time out' message from Firefox. I have even gone to the trouble of<br>doing a reverse DNS look up and then entering the pure IP address in<br>umbers rather than letters...still nothing.<br><br>Any ideas what I can try next? Remember, no other sites are
affected<br>and my connection is fairly quick averaging about 4mb download (varies<br>during the day).<br>_</div><br><br>Hi Kevan<br><br>I have tried just and go into the website no problem. I used Firefox and Ubuntu 7.10. Have you checked the preferences in Firefox? Try a live CD and see what happens.<br><br>Mo<br><br><br><br></div></div><br>
