access problems

briggie · 03-07-2010, 17:31

im on holiday in norfolk as most of you know , so im using a dongle , its great for all sites , except it seems this one ,i can access every site no problems , but have a heck of a lot of trouble trying to get in here , all i get is a message that says " internet explorer cannot display the page " ..... but occasionally i can get in the forum ...... i have no problems accessing any other site , only this one .... HELP

might be a DNS issue at the site where the server is hosted. you could try alternative DNS yourself, such as google DNS to see if that makes a difference?

Hi Mr Brigg, I am on a Vodafone dongle at the moment from Caravan club site at Bristol Wharf, no trouble with this site for me, I am using Firefox, the sun is shining and all is right with my world, been away caravanning for eight weeks, suppose we should go home, before the schools
break up, regards Bri

Hi pete at home I use a Dongle all the time but it is bad on Internet Explorer, the best is Opera, it is faster and no problems, Rick

Briggie, I use a mobile dongle at home and don't have any problem with it. Are you sure its not that DNS issue people mentioned?

There was a thread recently about problems with accessing the site after bat21 had work done on the server and I think it explained how to clear the DNS cache. I have no idea what a DNS cache but maybe that previous thread would be of some help.

hang Pete, i thoguht you said flushing the dns didnt work? but here you say it did, but still have access problems...im confused...im going to assuem you still get "this page connot be displayed". When you open a new browser window, do you get a "recorving your last session" message, or is it normal?

also, as other have suggested, it will be well worth trying Opera or Firefox, to eliminate the possibility its IE being a cock.

if you are saying access is random, then thats different, and probably NOT your laptop, might be something to do with Three's service/dns settings etc, another option is to change your DNS to someone else, such as google, to see if that works..
