Since Friday I cant get on some web sites.
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. 
Talk to your ISP. Check the DNS settings on your compuiter.
And no, it's nothing to do with the cookie law.

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.
