There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

401 The web site is blocked by administrator Mozilla Firefox
The other day I got this message "401 The web site is blocked by administrator". I didn't know how that got on there and I've had no luck turning it off. I saw a post about this for Internet Explorer but nothing for Mozilla firefox. Can you help me unblock sites on mozilla firefox? Thanks.

Dear Technology Fail,
Clear the "cache" in FF3 and i am providing a link below as to how you go about it.https://www.adaptavist.com/display/S...ache+FireFox+3

After clearing the cache ,restart the computer and it may help. Make it a point to clear "private data" after every session like i do! I use only FF3 and not IE.

There are 4 places that a webpage can be blocked from a user's home network:

1. The router. Resetting the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in won't work. Make sure you use the reset button. This will give you a 404, not 401.

2. A personal firewall installed on the PC. Windows Firewall and ZoneAlarm are examples. This will give you 404, not 401 though.

3. Your hosts file. In windows XP it is located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. In windows 95/98 it is in c:\windows. This will also give you 404, not 401.

4. Your browser. If you have placed a website in a restriced zone, you won't be able to access. Check your browser settings to see which ones are there. This will give you a 401 error, not 404. Make sure that cookies are enabled for the website you are trying to visit.

401 is access denied. 404 is page not found.
