Imageshack

[DRuM]

Never works for me. I can't view any pictures that people have uploaded, and currently I can't even upload any. I always get a 'cannot be displayed' page.

Start run CMD
Click on ok,

now type in Ipconfig /flushdns and press enter.

and you should get the message:
Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Now type Exit and press enter and try again.

Also, do you have a modified HOSTS file to stop ad's? or a app like peerguardian?

Thanks amidy, no luck though. Flushing didn't work and peerguardian was and still is uninstalled. I turned ad muncher off as well. My hosts file:

"# 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 "

IE or FF?

[AmIdYfReAk]

are you SURE ad muncher is off?

Press Ctrl alt Del and click on the processes tab and make sure its closed..

[DRuM]

Yep, admuncher definitely shutdown. It doesn't seem to be that affecting anything. Well, we have a positive. Just now, some imageshack images worked ( that didn't work a few days ago) but others don't. Maybe the flushing helped. But for instance, this image that knowfury posted of herself still doesn't work, either in IE or FF. Works from the T-mobile internet on my phone though.

This picture working for you? http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/8021 ... 027dx9.jpg

Does anyone have a bunch of random imageshack pictures that you know work that I can test?

god my screenshots are gorgeous.

[DRuM]

Thanks juggy. It's very hit and miss. Your first link doesn't work for me, a few of the images in that thread do work, and a few don't. I don't get it. FF says this about http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3740/desktopdl8.jpg

that link is slow for me, but still loads

[AmIdYfReAk]

it still sounds to me like something is Blocking it, Do you Have a Alternate DNS Server in?

or a firewall app?

I don't even know what an alternate DNS server is.

I have a firewall, PC Tools firewall plus, but can't find anything specific to imageshack. What makes this odd is that it's not all or nothing. It seems to work with some images but not for most.

Alternate DNS is the DNS server that your computer will try if it can't resolve a website on your Primary DNS. You will find it in these 2 places:


(control panel, network, properties, tcp/ip properties)


Start, run, cmd, ipconfig /all

[AmIdYfReAk]

indeed, Thanks foo!

also, could you disable the firewall and try again?

[DRuM]

Amidy, I disabled the firewall, that didn't help.

Thanks Foo. I brought up the tcp/ip properties dialogue box which looks the same as that screenshot, nothing different about it, says obtain DNS server automatically and obtain ip address automatically. And here is a screenshot of my ipconfig /all cmd.

I'm with virgin media amidy, however, virgin.net used to be part of ntl, and I think virgin media still is.

[AmIdYfReAk]

ok, just checking, the DNS checks out to be part of NTL, thats all
