i need help

[mcasquejo]

I can't access the americansingles.com website. There is a surf control. How can I access this?

A) Choose a better title next time.
B) You didn't exactly give a wealth of info here. Do you mean that someone has set a firewall or somesuch to block access to that site?

 

[mcasquejo]

yes... i think someone set a firewall or somesuch to block my access to yahoomail, americansingles and other website. please do help me debug this one. thank you.

 

[Big-K]

What kind of error does it give you? Standard 'This Page Cannot Be Displayed', 404, or a different one?

 

[mcasquejo]

Yup... i even tried using the kproxy to access the website but even that wouldn't help

 

[mcasquejo]

i am really not a techy girl... please help me with this... thank you.

Request for the thread to be moved to Web And Email, it should do better there. Do that by using the red triangle at the top of your first post. In the meantime, if you are using windows try this:

Open the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"(C:\WINNT if using 2k) in notepad. Look through the list to see if any having to do with yahoo comes up. Reply back.

Exactly who set this firewall up?

 

[mcasquejo]

Do you have a network administrator?

 

[mcasquejo]

yes... oh, so that means i really have to get in touch with that department before i can debug whatever that is that is installed there??? oh...

 

[~Candy~]

Ah, like, yeah........don't you think they do things for a reason They may NOT WANT you accessing certain sites

We can't and won't help you get around things like that.

 

[mcasquejo]
