Router randomly blocking websites
This is one of the stranger things that I have ever seen. My router is connected to the internet...and I can get to the internet...at least some of it. It is blocking certain websites however. ...
The most imortant part of the MAC address change process is that you power cycle the modem (the router also if you want, but particularly the modem). If you don't do this the MAC address change at the router will simply kill your Internet connection. More often than not this fixes the issue of unreachable websites, which more often than not is nothing to do with the router (whatever the brand).lottathought wrote: I did try your suggestion Searay..in fact I tried several combinations....nothing.
Shadowsports...I neglected to answer your 2nd question.
I will use the Mtg company as an example since it is a site that I can not reach.
The exact message that I get is....
The connection has timed out
The server at www.nationstarmtg.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
