Re: OT browsing problems

Sorry this seriously way off topic, but I'm having problems getting to
a few of my favourite sites for the past couple of days.

I can't get to http://www.luminous-landscape.com/ or
http://www.oziexplorer.com/

On http://www.dpreview.com/ I can get the text but not the pictures
which seem to live at http://a.img-dpreview.com/

Any ideas?

Ping the site(s) in question from the command prompt (Start, Run, CMD, enter)

ping oziexplorer.com

you should see something like this:

If that does not get a response you can try flushing the PC's DNS
cache with

ipconfig /flushdns

and try again.

Still no joy try Tracert

tracert oziexplorer.com

If that stalls part way to the site there may be a problem between you and the site.

If you connect via a router you may need to reboot the router and / or flush its DNS cache.

Other things to look at are firewall or internet security software that could be misbehaving.

Good luck.
