Still Can't Find amigaworld.

You may need to contact your ISP..

Are you using an Amiga, Linux or Windows system ? Give us a bit more info about your system.. Also, if you have a router, then give some info about that as well.

Well, we can rule out ISP problems I think for now.

Have you tried cleaning the cache/temp internet sites ? Sounds to simple to try, but has worked before to solve these kind of problems.

Also, a bit related, if you go to start -> run and type CMD you get a nice console window.

Make sure you're in the root (C:\) and type

del /s *.tmp

This will delete all files in all directories ending with tmp that aren't in use (quit as many programs as possible when doing this). (Use at your own risk, some file sharing programs and programs like DAP use .tmp files as well)


If the above doesn't work type the following in the same console box;

ping www.amigaworld.net

You should get a reply from 69.64.33.58.

Let us know what happens.

Well I got a reply;

Pinging www.amigaworld.net [69.64.33.58]

Well, it's not a DNS problem then.

Did you try the other suggestion ?


You mentioned a second PC on the same router ? Does it have the same problem ?

Can you get to http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/ ?

[seer]

Exactly the same here

You're on ntl broadband as well ?

hey seer thanks for trying to help me out.

No probs.. But if HopperJF has the exact same problem and is using the same ISP then it's a good bet the problem is with your ISP, tho Í can't think of a reason (except if you connetct through a proxy/ISA server but I doubt that).

Try contacting the servicedesk of your ISP, explain the problem and tell them the results of the ping command. I suggest emailing them and not calling them, that seems to work better with most servicedesk..
