Could somebody please do me a favour?

Sorry for the blantant misuse of the Forum but this has been bugging me for a week or so.

I can't log on to the Horsedeals Website at http://www.horsedeals.com.au

I have 3 computers here, on a Wireless LAN and I can't get onto that site on any computer.

Does it work on your computer?

Many thanks,

EF, What else? · 27-05-2006, 08:44 PM

XR Martin · 27-05-2006, 08:44 PM

Thanks.

What do you think could be the cause for me not being able to get onto the website?

How does one do that?

This is the error msg I get

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page. "

Cheers,

Mike

I'm even having trouble loading the Cached version of the site from Google!

**thefargo** · 27-05-2006, 09:16 PM

got on okay with a mac running safari, and an ibm through a router.
have you restarted yet?
you could try having a web page already open, then go file new ... to open another window and then typing the address, this way the internet is already "connected" and you should not get your first error.
i can assure you that the address you gave is okay, I clicked on your link and went straight there

TotalDriver · 27-05-2006, 09:20 PM

Going for Re-boot and Suicide pill!

kyro_02 · 27-05-2006, 09:22 PM

works fine for me =)

TotalDriver · 27-05-2006, 09:34 PM

That's really bizzare.

Every other website in the world works fine, just can't get onto Horse Deals!

Still not working!

Hey, at least it will stop Wifey spending money on Horses and Stuff

Frustrating though :nutsycuck

Mike can't really explain how I did it...try going in from an email?

anyway maybe you'll save money as you said.....hehehe

Marhleet · 27-05-2006, 10:35 PM

you must be on some small-ish obscure ISP ?
and the routing changed to horsedeals .....
and your ISP hasn't caught up yet ....

or

you're doing it wrong

Yeah, I'm only using some small backyard operator called.....

Looking....

Found it

BIGPOND!

I guess they're obscure compared to AOL! lol

TotalDriver · 28-05-2006, 09:36 PM

I downloaded FIREFOX. It's pretty good, IE7 is a bit more modern though, but Firefox seems quicker.

And guess what......

horsedeals.com.au STILL WON'T WORK!!!!!

Bloody computers!

Cheers,

Mike

StorminaTcup · 28-05-2006, 10:53 PM

Maybe you have some how blocked that site from your computer.

TotalDriver · 28-05-2006, 11:07 PM

I'd say more likely it's my ISP as all 3 computers on my wireless LAN can't access the site.

I have emailled Bigfish but they haven't got back to me yet.

Cheers,

Mike

For the sake of your sanity I'd like to agree with you, however, I can't. I'm with Bigpond and I just learned that www.boringhorsestuff.com.au (or whatever the link at the top was) has over 520 pages of horses for sale! All this by just clicking on the link and it opening straight away with no hassles.

Good Luck Dude!

S3SR · 29-05-2006, 09:26 AM
