Can't access or ping...

[WC]

Hello,
Whenever I try to access http://www.misticriver.net, it says that the 'page
cannot be displayed.' Also, if I ping that site, it says that it 'could not
find the host.' I've emptied the TIF, history, cookies, checked for
spyware/adware with Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware, still no luck. I'm using
WinXP, ZA, NAV, and DSL.

TIA

Hi,


I can ping that domain from here without any problem.

That site might be blocked by your firewall or in your HOSTS file.
1. Disable your firewall. Does it work now? (Enable it again after the test)
2. Look for the HOSTS file on your computer (no extension, and it might be
hidden). Open it in Notepad and delete all lines that read
127.0.0.1 www.misticriver.net
and similar. Save the HOSTS file and restart.

Kind regards

Thanks, but I tried those two and I still can't access it or ping it. I
also tried putting that site in ZA's Site List, and it tells me that it
can't because it couldn't find it... :|

Thanks again.

Fixed it. Just got a new IP address.
