Internet Help needed

[Marmel]

For some reason i cannot access any of the ootp-leagues.com websites. Every other website in the world I can get to, unless it is one of the ootp sites. their message board works, but it has a differnet address.

Did I change some setting on my internet browser by accident? I use firebird, but explorer does not work either. I have never had this problem before.


Any advise at all?

I just tried to get to a bunch and they worked for me. So...I dunno, that's weird.

Do you have a firewall up or something? Perhaps its those specific leagues. But I dunno...sorry.

Sounds like a DNS cache problem.

What OS are you running, and what sort of ISP do you have?

[Marmel]

win xp

ISP.....uhm, a cable connection. Is that what you mean?

[Marmel]

cox cable to be exact

Go to Start-->Run, and type in "cmd" (no quotes). When you get the prompt, type:

tracert www.ootp-leagues.com

and hit enter. It'll take a minute or two, but it'll start spitting back a bunch of numbers and IP addresses. These are all the routers (hops) that your connection has to go through to ultimately reach the OOTP server. Chances are, there's a hub out there somewhere between your computer and their server that is down. If you get a time out somewhere along the line during the tracert, then that's the case.

If the tracert completes and you still can't see the websites, then there's a problem with your browser/firewall, in which case, I'm not sure what to tell you.
