Help a new user please

Obvernight my website refueses to load, every other website works but not mine

My daughters PC off the same router in the next room finds my website with no problem

My friends all tell me it is working but I cannot get it.

A ping fails to find it on my PC

I am stumped after 12 hours of trying

Thanx Grumblybum

Pings to websites arn't always allowed, as i found when i pinged Microsoft.com yesterday. The site would still load from http://(ipaddress)

Just a thought, go to your website and press CTRL+F5. This should clear a cache of your site held on your PC, that might of been made when it was unavailable.

May not work, but worth a try.

Nice thought , but I already cleaned out every cache I could think of

I have checked for spyware and trojans, I have updated and run both my virus checkers, plus xofspy, spybot, adaware and hijack this all to no availe

Click on Start > Click Run > type cmd /k nslookup yourwebsitenamehere

That should report back your webservers ip.


Are you running any firewall or antivirus software?

Any browser accelerators?
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

Have a look at this article, which may help identify any problems, have you recently installed a new network device on your network?

you access your website through a http:// address i assume, i had a ftp:// for my site saved in my favourite, just a small thought.
