My problem is that there is one site that I am unable to access for the past week or so. I keep getting the page can not be displayed message. I tried switching to Firefox from IE but still am having no luck. I am the only one that is having this problem so its not the web site that is down. I talked to my isp and they said the problem must be on my end because they can not find anything. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what may be causing this? I was told by a friend that it probably has something to do with my cookies but he doesn't know how to fix it. Any help would be great!

Thanks

Short checklist and focused diagnostics for the single-site “page cannot be displayed” symptom (as reported by and noted by ). When only one host fails while other sites work, the problem is usually DNS/hosts, local routing/firewall, or a server-side IP/filtering issue rather than a browser bug.

  • Check name resolution and basic reachability with nslookup and ping (look for no answer, an unexpected IP, or packet loss). See nslookup on Windows.
  • Trace the path to spot where packets stop with tracert / traceroute (helps reveal a routing black hole). See .
  • If DNS looks wrong, clear the OS cache (ipconfig /flushdns on Windows) or try a public resolver (8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) to rule out ISP DNS issues: ipconfig docs and Google Public DNS.
  • Confirm TCP port access to the web service (PowerShell Test-NetConnection -ComputerName example.com -Port 80) to tell whether the host accepts connections: Test-NetConnection.
  • Clear browser cache/cookies and disable extensions briefly to exclude client-side blocking; browser vendor docs: Firefox clear cookies and .
  • Check local hosts file entries and local firewall/AV/router rules. Test from a different network (mobile tether) to see if the problem follows the client IP.

If client-side checks show DNS and routing are fine but connections still time out, the server or upstream firewall is likely blocking the client IP; server access logs and host/firewall rules should be reviewed. Caution: temporarily disabling security software is only for short tests and should be undone immediately.
