Can't Access Certain Websites

Most of those seem to have a black list feature as well. If possible disable the black list function & test.

 

How do I do that?

How do I do that?

 

I couldn't tell you; hopefully the owners manual can. Recently I've seen similar posts caused by the blacklisting mechanism of some Belkin routers (that's why I asked that specifically). Perhaps the Zyxel routers use the same blacklist system.

I just tried to connect to these sites using a wireless laptop on my system - it worked. That leads me to believe it's something with my computer, not the internet connection/router per se.

Try running WinSockFix and see if that helps.

What about a Java or JavaScript issue?

Some site rely heavily on those languages to get stuff done..

 

What sites are you trying to get to?

Do they contain a lot of content (etc) that use flash or shockwave?

Are they Java enabled site with Java functions on them?

 

 

Some more ideas to try.

Hi,

 

I can't access certain websites, such as vanguard.com and adobe.com

 

Anyone have any ideas? Internet works fine for 99% of the sites.

You know,it may be as simple as disabling any popup blocker you may be using .disable it and and try.Happens to me w/some sites ( Yahoo,Netflix,etc....).Works for me despite your internet settings.Worth a try.

I went to vanguard. Their site is full of JS calls and scripts. I know adobe uses it.

 

I would say a pop up blocker, or JS is turned off, perhaps flash isnt set up or is an old build.

Thanks. Winsockfix did the trick! Hopefully it stays that way.

I appreciate everyone's help. Every time I've had a problem, the guys and girls on this forum have come through.

Keep up the good work.

Joe,

 

Glad to hear it! No problem at all, I actually wasn't sure if it would help or not. I guess when you get to this point, anything is worth a try. I hope it stays well for you now. The issue that Winsockfix fixes is sometimes caused by antivirus/anti-malware products removing deeply embedded viruses/malware.

 

Cheers,
