I did the first part. Then, in the second part about the firewall.rude said:Some websites don't work properly with cookies disabled,and some don't work at all with session cookies disabled.
Go to tools/internet options/privacy/advanced,put a check in Override Automatic Cookie Handling,then accept First and third party cookies,then put a check in Always Allow Session Cookies. Ok your way out,then allow the same thing in your firewall.
Hope this works for you.
Through a router, and is a secure server that requires 128-bit encryption,as well. Also I don't think that installed any hot-fix under those numbers(813951, KB831167).Elvandil said:It may be blocked in your hosts file, too. Have you installed the Windows Update patch that prevented some sites from connecting (or incomplete page loading) after a recent hotfix was installed (813951, KB831167)?
Are you connected through a router or connection sharing?
Is it a secure server that requires 128-bit encryption?
Those are the hotfixes that you should install. I thought when I read it over that it may not have been too clear.Through a router, and is a secure server that requires 128-bit encryption,as well. Also I don't think that installed any hot-fix under those numbers(813951, KB831167).
This is what i get,following your suggestions!!Elvandil said:Those are the hotfixes that you should install. I thought when I read it over that it may not have been too clear.
Also, check your hosts file. It's unlikely, but the site could be blocked there.
Be sure that hidden files are unhidden in Folder Options. Then, look in Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder. You will see the "hosts" file with no file ending. Open it with Notepad. It should have no entries (default) except for the sample ones that are inactive. If it has other entries, let us now.
I found in Add/Remove only this: Internet Explorer Q831167, and not anyElvandil said:Your hosts file is perfectly normal. We better look elsewhere.
Go to Windows Update if you haven't already and get those hotfixes. You can look in Add/Remove for those number to see if you have them already. But they will come up in the scan at WU if you don't have them.
Thanks for your reply and I do appreciate your help. I did exactly what you said on the internet explorer but I do not know how to do the same in my Sygate Personal Firewall (version 5.5). At the moment the firewall's security is set to normal (the other two options being 'allow all' and 'block all'). Do you mean I need to change this to 'allow all'?rude said:Some websites don't work properly with cookies disabled,and some don't work at all with session cookies disabled.
