A website that I have always accessed before, now for some reason does not load. I know the website is fine because I can access it via other PC's and a proxy but I wondered why I cannot load it on my unproxied PC.
It only started happening about a month ago. All that happens is after about a minute I get a message saying "document could not load". It does not matter what browser I use either.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

open it up with notepad. it should look like this, which is unmodified:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

You need to determine if a server is blocking you or if you have a DNS issue.
To see if it is a server block issue do this:
Open up a DOS prompt (Start-->Run-->cmd [ENTER]) and type tracert [address or domain name] and post the results here. Basically, we're trying to find out why it can't get to where it is.
If it is a DNS issue it won't resolve the name which you may want to query some nameservers using nslookup.
Open up a DOS prompt again and type nslookup and hit [ENTER]. It should open up a new command prompt which will look like this > .
From there enter this:
Set the server
at the next > prompt type the hostname and hit enter.
Example:
If this Worldcom nameserver can't resolve it, odds are, the dns name no longer exits.

Re: Website not loading
it could be that your isp's web-cache has problems. when you say after a minute or so, is that a minute of navigating around the site?
are you with ntl or a competent provider?
