I don't like NetFirms and NetFirms doesn't like me!

I made a site for my uncle awhile ago, www.CharliesGarage.com. I noticed it was down about two months ago. I then needed to go to some other page that was also hosted on NetFirms. I found out from that guy that the site isn't down and never was. I emailed NetFirms and they said everything is working. I sent a link to my friend and she could see the page. I tried it on my dad's computer and it worked. How come I can't see any page hosted on NetFirms? I tried clearing my history and deleting all my temporary internet files. What else should I do?

Check to see if you have any blocked locations (by accident maybe). I went right to the site so it has to be in your computer. Check your Internet Options, security, restricted sites to see if maybe somehow it's listed, if it is deleted it

I checked and there were no sites blocked.

Well I checked www.CharliesGarage.com./ (your link with a period after com) and found a blank page. Then I checked www.CharliesGarage.com/ and found the web site in question.

Are you using a similar link?

I wasn't using a link with the period. I tried http://cgarage.netfirms.com, http://madisonspeakers.netfirms.com, and http://xaudio.netfirms.com and none of them worked. I still can't figure out why sites hosted on NetFirms doesn't work for me.

Using something like www.anonymizer.com or www.the-cloak.com lets me see the sites, but if I don't use them, it doesn't work.

I just tried all three of the netfirms addresses you posted above and they all come up for me. I have never heard of such a thing but is it possible they have you blocked? Doubtful.

You might try repairing IExplorer if that's what you're using. If you're using Netscape can't help - try to avoid using it myself.

Other than that make a check of all your scripting and other settings too. Then do a virus scan. Outside this I'm at a loss.

Sorry
