Need Help to unblock a website
Ok so i am usually on this one particular website everyday and now all of a sudden i can not connect to it. It keeps saying Internet can not display the web page. I dont know if its blocked or not. Its been working fine until yesterday. Its not the internet connection because i can connect to any other website just fine. The website is not down because other people i know can get on it from their computers. Its gotta be this computer. does anyone else have any suggestions on how to fix this problem. I would really appreciate the help.

IE

Secruity
restricted sites

also have a look in your hosts file - this can also stop sites opening

Could it be your employer has finally caught on?

Are others in the office able to access it?
