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..
it seems that i can gain access to this site sometimes , perhaps the 3 network has scruples ?

I was told on the dongles some sites have different protocols to allow access and may hang when theyre trying to decide if its a mobile phone or a normal router trying to access and therefore how to display.

We use a "3" dongle on the laptop when we're away, the missus uses (or used to use) ie mostly , i always use firefox. She has more access problems than me which seems to back up the theory that its worth swapping to firefox/mozzilla (better browser anyway)

We also have mobiles on voda, o2 & Tmobile that produsce erratic and inconsistant results when in the woolybacks, all to do with signal. Not an exact science and produces very unscientific results.

Guys, I am 99.9% certain that the DNS problems are not this end. During the move to the new server I kept the same IP address and DNS server names. This seems to be isolated incidents with some ISPs

You can resolve this issue on you PC by following the steps below:-
  • Using windows explorer (not internet explorer) find the Hosts file which is located in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc directory.
  • Right click this file and then left click on properties.
  • Near the bottom in the Attributes section, make sure the Read-only box is un-ticked. If it is ticked, remove the tick and click OK.
  • Now double click the Hosts file and open with Notepad. Go to the bottom of the text and add the line:-
    65.38.186.188 (then press the Tab key) www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com
    Now save and close this file.
    If this file was originally read only, follow the steps above to put the tick back in the correct box.
  • Now reboot your PC and all should work

Sounds like you haven't got admin rights to your PC if it isn't letting you save the Hosts file.

Hi Briggie
I originally thought that Zippy was blocking your posts count,but since your initial post mentioning difficulty with your "dongle" you have managed at least a further 6 hits!
Have a nice Hol.

It is odd that the message says unable to create the file as you are not creating it, you are simply editing and saving it.
