Wireless Network problems

gococksDJS · 10-23-2005, 06:25 PM

For some reason, there is one website I can not get on anymore. Last week I had no problems getting on the site, then one night my computer seemed to be running a little slow, so I went into the Windows Task Manager and ended an explorer.exe process. I don't know if this is the cause, but since then I can't access the website. I talked to the admin of the site and haven't been banned and no one else is reporting this problem, and I tried accessing it on IE and firefox and neither worked. I adjusted my security settings, even turned off my firewall and still couldn't get to it. I can't get to it on my roommates computer either, so I assume it's a problem with my wireless network. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how I could fix it? Thanks

If it's an external site, than it has nothing to do with your wireless network unless you somehow blacklisted it on your wap/router. Explorer.exe is the windows user shell.

well i would imagine everyone on the wireless network shares the same external ip address so it could be possible that the admin has blocked someone else on your network and inadvertently blocked the entire network.

You could check this by using http://www.anonymizer.com/ , if you go to that site and type the url into the box at the top right, it will connect to the site via a proxy using a different IP

Im a supermod on the site, so the admin would have told me if anyone from my IP had been banned.

try clearing all the cookies in internet explorer, it could be that one of the cookies is corrupt

I would have recommened this, however he said he was using a third party browser, firefox.

I guess there is a chance he imported settings over from IE to Firefox.

Delete cookies like Stu said, but also clear your temporary internet files.

Check your security tab under internet options, make sure you didn't somehow add this site to restricted sites.

min0 lee · 10-23-2005, 07:08 PM

Pssstt...buddy....I'd hate to tell you this but your no longer a supermod there, in fact I am....so pack your bags and don't turn around buddy..oh and don't let the door slam you.

I deleted both the cookies and temp. internet files and still couldn't get on. It's not on my restricted list, so I don't know what else it could be. This is pissing me off.

Stu · 10-23-2005, 07:20 PM

i blame luke for breaking the board

gococksDJS · 10-23-2005, 07:24 PM

Stu · 10-23-2005, 07:26 PM

gococksDJS · 10-23-2005, 07:28 PM

min0 lee · 10-23-2005, 07:38 PM

Yeah, everyone has to sign in. I got in with the link, but still can't go in through www.ironarena.com which is weird.

Usually a cord solves most problems with wireless networks.

I heard a good pair of rabbit ears will also boost the signal range quite nicely.

Try pinging the domain, your HOSTS file could just be screwed up.

maniclion · 10-23-2005, 10:39 PM

Who administers your wireless network? They could be messing with you and have ironarena.com in the restricted keywords or whatever your wireless router/access point uses.

How do I do this?

maniclion · 10-23-2005, 10:49 PM

Know what? Forget what anybody said I just tried to go to ironarena.com and it times out. Sounds like a DNS problem or they let the lease on the Domain run out or the Domain Forward service is out or expired.

click start > run > type: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

look for the HOSTS files, right click on it, select open with... select notepad

Look through the files and make sure there is no line with ironareana.com on it. Example:

127.0.0.1 ironarena.com
