Very odd but since Friday 25 May I have not been able to get on some web sites such as the Flyer Forum as well as other,
But others users I have contacted still have access,
I am wondering if it could be connected with this new cookie law that came into effect on Friday 25 May,
Any ideas guys.
Nick.

Why the cross-posts Nick ? You've already posted the exact same question in Jet Blast. :ugh:
Talk to your ISP. Check the DNS settings on your compuiter.
And no, it's nothing to do with the cookie law.

I have more info now that I know its a problem at my end...you must have more faith in ISPs than me...I like to sort things my self if I can with a little help.

clear the internet cache
cycle the power on your router (the DNS resolution could have fallen over - it does happen from time to time - turning off/on refreshes it)
check the DNS settings on PC and router
which ISP are you with? Could be fault there - for instance Zen's DNS servers went partially titsup last night. I could only connect if the PCs were set to use OpenDNS
faulty router? Any sign of it overheating?

'Check your DNS Settings.' ....he has already asked how you do it ?
Surely someone can guide him.

Assuming Vista or Win7
start > control panel (select classic view) >network and sharing centre >manage network connections > whichever is the active connection >properties >internet version 4 (TCP/IPv4)>properties>
tell us what the settings are in there
Forget the router - with virgin not a lot you can do there

All sorted now...after Virgin finally got there finger out,
I wonder how difficult a job it would be for them to mail all there customers to save lots of head scratching.
