"Trouble accessing certain web pages" , posted Sat 8 Nov 13:32

Lately I have had trouble getting to some pages that I usually go to. When I try to go to the page it gives we the Page cannot be displayed thing. The thing is I know the page is supposed to be accessable because I asked a friend to go to the same page and he can do it just fine. Does anyone know what my problem is?

Is it the Java VM? Or maybe cookies setting?

I have had my cookie settings from accepting everything to accepting nothing and I still cant access it. What do I do to mess around with the Java VM stuff?

Try tracerouting the url -- my understanding of the process kinda sucks, but it could be that, somewhere along the path of servers where your local server connects to the remote server, one of the servers inbetween doesn't want to connect. (In Windows, you'll need to go to the Command Prompt and type in "tracert whatever.url.com")

My university's servers are having that problem right now with the Gamespy servers... right now to read the BBS, I'm using a shell account on a remote server and accessing the BBS through the lynx text-only browser. (Works fine for reading, except that spoiler tags don't work... and writing/proofreading posts is a bit tedious.)

It could just be a problem with your ISP or with one of the servers that your ISP contacts, so you might want to call your ISP, tell them what's happening, and see if they can give you an answer or at least check to see if there's a problem.

You should also run Ad-Aware and whatever virus checker you use. When I use an excessive amount of bandwidth, such as seeding three different torrents at the same time, IE and Mozilla start to give me "page cannot be displayed" errors because they're so starved for bandwidth. A DDoS worm would probably cause a similar problem.

And if you or anyone else who uses your computer has changed any relevant settings recently, just change them back, regardless (well, mostly regardless) of what they are.

I was able to fix the problem one way or another myself. I thought I had to reinstall my OS so I started getting rid of stuff off my hard drive. Right before I was going put in a Linux I checked the web page(one being magicbox) and it worked. I guess a file or something had a virus.

On a differernt subject, I picked up a copy of Red Hat linux at the Library I volunteer at and was wondering if it is really as good as I hear? I know the MMcafe peeps know their stuff.

If you've never compiled your own code or dislike working in a command line primarily, stay away from Linux. It's a fun hobby OS, but as your main operating system, if you don't know EXACTLY what it's doing most of the time, it's a real pain.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. I really don't think I would like to hassle through all of that.
