Post by: Captain Best on July 11, 2010, 13:53:33
Okey.
So i've googled and yahoo'ed all day. But i couldn't find the answer i was looking after.

Okey, Since i've got Windows 7, I have got some several issues.
Im free to open many sites.

BUT.
Some sites cannot be accessed.

Like Cleo 3 Site, Mod pages and SAMP forum..
And many others.

I've tried on my Iphone, And im free to access the page. So it isnt the Internet developer.
Just says The Page cannot be displayed.

I hope somehere here who got an solution :P

Hi SD :)

How are you? Long time, no see :D

Well, Yes. I've checked the Windows FireWall...
I dont see anything wrong, Many sites will open. but someone refuses, which is annoying.

1. You know what settings in Firwall which should be correct?
2. You know any firewall softwares?

 :) I don't know so much about computers, but I read somewhere that when you have 2 firewalls (Windows and your AV program) it's best to turn one of them off, otherwise they could cause conflicts with each other.
I have switched off my Windows firewall and use the one included with my AntiVirus program.
There you should find an option which sites it can allow..  :)

It can be the firewall in the virus protection or the firewall in the router to. I can't help you further, hope it helps you a bit. :)

Hi Captain Best, could you please attach a copy of your HOSTS file? It's possible for some STRANGE reason those websites have ended up blocked by HOSTS. Find the hosts file here: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

It'll just be a blank file called 'hosts'. Please attach when you can. :)

Hi, Well.. I dont know if Nod32 have an Firewall..
I've checked the Windows Firewall... Nothing seems to be wrong.
Its nothing wrong with the Firewall Router, I get access on the other pc's on the same network.

Will this affect Firefox,opera,Safari?
Anyway, IE8 wont let me adjust the Settings on blocked area's whatever they are called.
Because I know they are safe.

Very funny you mentioned it Firestar.

Captain Best, I see you have a lot of websites blocked. What I want you to do is this:

Find the notepad icon, right click it and hit Run as Administrator. Then, go to File, Open, and go to your hosts file. I want you to delete EVERYTHING inside your hosts file and replace it with this:

Quote from: Original Hosts File
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Save it, make sure you overwrite the original. You should restart before changes take effect.

Report back to us on the situation.
