Title: Can't access some websites?
Post by: thegallery on April 03, 2003, 16:18

Hi. I can't access www.bbc.co.uk, or many other overseas and local sites in IE. This seems to happen for a period of time, and then goes away. I just get a blank page saying the site is not found.

However, I have an account with AOL that I connect with using TC/IP. When I sign in there I have no problem accessing these sites, but still no luck in IE.

I have deleted cache, checked for Microsoft Updates, and run scandisk. Any idea what the problem may be? I connect with RoadRunner Cable. Thanks

thanks Adept. I tried everything I could, including reinstalling. Nothing worked, but a day later I can now suddenly enter the sites. I'm not sure what caused it, and I've no idea why it is now working. But I am happy!

Thanks for your help

No problem thegallery :)

I'm glad it's working again. I hope it stays like that for you.
