Cant connect to website

[Veronica]

I am able to connect to most websites except for www.iafrica.com using ADSL. I can access the site if i use my dail up connection but not on adsl, the page just hangs. Telkom is clueless.

Works for me. Try setting the proxy on your browser to 196.25.253.13 with port 80, and see if it works...

Tried that, still no luck. It says to me website found waiting for reply, and thats it. Page still wont load. It wouldnt bother me in general, but its a site i use a lot.

2 more things to try - flush the browser cache and history, and try connecting without the proxy, i.e. direct connection. Then try connecting with the proxy. One last thing to try - use another browser, ideally Firefox.

Tried all of that, still couldnt load the site. Formatted pc, reloaded and bingo it works.

Oops, forgot to say thanks for the help, it was much appreciated.

Pleasure - albeit that my suggestions did not really assist in fixing the problem. Always willing to try helping a damsel in distress, though... [] Glad to hear you've come right.
