Computer Issues

[Alex]

I am having a major problem on one of my laptops such that the only site and way I can access the Internet is through this site? What the feck would cause this? Any ideas?

 

[esmufc07]

Do you use that laptop to go on dodgy porn sites?

 

[Alex]

No, I find the whole thing infuriating as it still let's me come to this site but not any other, I don't understand how this would happen

Maybe you're dead, but cursed to haunt the Caf until you resolve something that went unresolved whilst you were alive? You playing one of the fantasy leagues?

reset your internet explorer settings to default.

reset your internet explorer settings to default.

Or better yet, stop using it altogether and switch to Firefox

that should work but its a losers way out, not actually solving the problem. Man up, solve the problem, then switch to firefox.

I use Firefox and the problem spread to this computer after signing in here, fecking weird. Two other computers left to see what the problem is though.

Can you explain the problem a bit better?

Your computers won't connect to the internet until after they have visited redcafe?

RedCafe is the only site I can visit. When I pull another one down from the drop down menu it just says looking and inevitably goes to the screen that it goes to when either a site is down or you have no internet

What error does it give you in firefox if you try to visit another site?

in windows?

try this


open command prompt (start > run > cmd)

ipconfig /flushdns

otherwise i would turn your router on and off again or maybe even reset it to default and reconfigure it.

Thanks Chris I guess when in Rome for the moment, and then I am going to the bar to blow some steam off.
