Strange web access problem
 

I can't access the paysites of 3 specific sponsors. I can access the program pages etc but none of the paysite domains or content that those programs have. Like hosted banners are not showing any more for me etc. I have checked with other people and web services and It's just for me these sites are down. Windows firewall is turned off and my avast is not blocking anything. This is on both IE and FF. Very strange, any idea?

I can ping the sites no problem, just can't browse them. Very strange

hmm, i had a similar prob two years ago or so ... some shit had edited my registry and blocked certain sites ... check regedit ;)

I have restarted router, checked that there is no proxy setting, flushed dns, renewed ip, windows firewall off, browser content/privacy set to lowest.

It's like my host blocked the ip's they are on or something cause It's only these sites I can access everything else normal.

I will check regedit

I have resetted hosts file and checked regedit, not helping. I'm giving up.

A lot of sponsors block certain countries for certain reasons.
Like a lot block Philippines (due to cam stuff, which is illegal there), and also some block Spain for example.

Yea I know but seems strange to block Sweden and to do It now when It was working last week.

Your mom installed a porn filter. ;)

At least something I hadn't checked yet :1orglaugh

Do you have a static IP address or dynamic?

It could be that your IP ended up in a wrong GEO pool or something. I've seen it happen before.

Have a static one, maybe that's It. I'll contact them. Thanks

tried via proxy?

Just did and It worked. Must be on the sponsors end.

I'm glad you took that in the humorous way it was intended.

I have a random odd problem where every now and then I cannot access Google, Yahoo, or Facebook. Seems I have to type in www.www.facebook.com to see it. It only happens like once a week.

Strange.
