Internet Explorer not showing some sites

[Rach]

I get this problem quite alot and its annoying me a bit now, I try to go to some sites [at this occasion, www.supersonicsquirrel.net/qbee] and I am not able to get there:

The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

If your Network Administrator has enabled it, Microsoft Windows can examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings.

If you would like Windows to try and discover them,

click Detect Network Settings

Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.

If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.

Click the Back button to try another link.

Cannot find server or DNS Error

Internet Explorer

I ask people on MSN and AIM if they can reach the site and they can fine, I refreshed, did what it said and nothing worked..Does anyone know whats wrong?

Hi there,

If you have installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 you might want to read this article.

XP SP2: Do's & Don'ts for Web Sites

or if you are using peer guardian then it blocks some web sites like Adobe and such

Is there any content filters running? (Net Nanny etc) If so you can use my proxy to bypass most of them, if not it could be a problem with your lmhost file and you will find there are a range of ip addresses that shouldn't be there because if an ip is in there you cant connect to it so the site is blocked. Also do you have a java virtual machine installed? Sometimes this causes problems displaying some pages.

Good luck.
