Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
I keep getting this message :

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

when I have to visit a site. I tired firefox and ie, the same error message. I checked the settings, for allowed sites.. the address is listed under safe/allowed sites.

At first I thought it was the site... then I used another computer and used the same ipaddress. I was able to reach the site without a problem.

Can anyone, anybody help?

Thanks

What Operating system?

Try pinging the site and note how many packets where sent/received/lost.

Try pinging yahoo.com and 69.147.114.224 and note the results.

If your not sure how to ping, report what Operating system then we can assist.
