Hi Im Dave,

I have phoned up Gp Telecom(my new supplier) an they say that everythng is fine on there behalf and that its nothing to do with them. i thought about ti being my firewall so i shut that down an tryed it again, but without success same problem. Iv lowed all my Internet setting to the minimum to see if that was blocking them, it didnt seem to work. when access certain website i can use www.Dtunnel.com to go onto them but when i want to log into secure sites it will not let me beacasue im bypassing there main site.

i am not able to get onto these sites + more; www.hotmail.com , , , any msn higher than number 7.0 is blocked, www.lloydstsb.com , mcafee.com , www.myspace.com ..... does any1 know waht is wrong with it, it seem to be blocking them some how but i have no idea where from. i have 3 computers an well 3 have the way problem.

Would Love Some help Thanks
Dave

reported multiple machines losing access to a set of mainstream sites after an ISP change. suggested DNS and suggested ISP-level blocking — both are plausible. Because the same failure appears on several computers, the fault is more likely upstream (router, ISP DNS or filtering) than a single PC. The quickest approach is a small set of diagnostic checks that distinguish DNS problems from routing/filtering or a compromised router.

Essential checks (run in a Windows Command Prompt or equivalent):

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
nslookup example.com
nslookup example.com 8.8.8.8
tracert -d example.com
ping -n 4 example.com

Compare the names and IPs returned by the ISP resolver versus a public resolver (8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1). If the ISP resolver fails or returns wrong addresses while the public resolver succeeds, DNS at the ISP (or DNS hijack on the router) is likely. If tracert stops inside the ISP network, that points to filtering or routing issues. Check the local hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts), browser proxy/LAN settings, and router DNS settings for unexpected entries.

Recommended next steps: temporarily set an explicit public DNS on one PC or the router (8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1) and reboot devices. If access is restored, change router DNS and flush caches. If only a VPN or web proxy restores access, that indicates ISP-level filtering — escalate to ISP technical support with the nslookup/tracert/ipconfig outputs and request packet-capture or filtering-policy details. If the problem remains even when connecting a PC directly to the modem, consider router compromise: factory-reset, update firmware, set a strong admin password, and run full malware scans on client machines.

Collect the diagnostic outputs and router logs before escalation; those logs are the most useful evidence when asking the ISP to investigate.

Some ISPs block known sources of malware (spam, viruses, and spyware).

It's also possible that those sites are blocking your ISP because it has been a past source of malware.

The real problem is that some other source of malware has phaked the return address of your ISP, or of any of the other ISPs. The blocking software can't seem to tell that the address on the received malware is phake.

Another possibility is that the ISP is sleazy, and blocks any service which the ISP also sells.

Another possibility is that changing ISP settings on your browser reset your security settings, possibly to the strictest settings.

The last possibility is that something was down at the ISP.
