    Good Day Colleagues, ;)

    Could You Please Help me out ? :confused:
    I Hope You don't mind me asking whether the main MajorGeeks site is available (ie operational).

    For the last approx 6 hours, whenever I try to link to:
    www.majorgeeks.com
    or
    majorgeeks.com
    I get nothing, Not even an error message. :confused: :eek:
    (using FireFox v1.04 until I have the chance to load v1.06)
    This has never occurred before.

    I Would Greatly Appreciate it if You could check whether You can link to MG & then Please let me know by either posting a reply to this or sending me a PM,

    Thank You Very Much for Your Very Kind Assistance,
    Cheers & Best Wishes from The Land Downunder,

    Good Day D3m3NT3D,

    I just tried IE 6.x & got the same => zilch.

    As I can link to this forum, & all other sites that I have tried Except MGs, I wander if there is a problem with the DNS server. :confused:

    I have already checked the HOSTs file to ensure Nothing strange has occurrred & it is OK. :confused:

    Also my firewall settings have not changed & anyway MG has more relaxed permissions than my default, & I did link to it about 12 hours ago successfully.... :confused:

    So ??........ :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

    Thank You Very Much to You & AbbySue for Helping me out,
    Greatly Appreciated, ;)
    Cheers & Best Wishes from a Aussie, ;)

    Hi Major General Sir Attitude, ;) :D

    Thanks Mate.

    I have just tried again, it says loading & voila' => zilch.

    I have also tried to link via Google wwwithout any success, & interstingly the MG pages it had cached were either several days old or they only contained the Normal MG page headings without any content.

    Sehr Interesting, verdad ? :confused:
    ( ie: Very Interesting, True ? ) :confused:

    67.19.72.100 is what I get when I run "nslookup www.majorgeeks.com". Following the link takes me to the MajorGeeks.com homepage. I cannot ping that IP, but if I run "pathping 67.19.72.100" I get to routers on theplanet.com's domain before it stops returning ICMP traffic. theplanet.com probably does this to protect their customers from attack or scanning.

    I have seen spyware block this site, but I've never seen it block this site and not block Merjin.

    In any case, if you can't reach the site by entering the IP address, it's unlikely to be a DNS problem.

    Thank You Very Much Da Chicken, :)

    Btw: The only change to the System configuration since I was last able to access MG has been to replace Spybot S & D v1.3 with v1.4.
    Then I updated all its definitions (Duh...).
    I do have Tea Timer on, but even when I turn it Off, the problem persists.
    And it should Not cause this, as all it does is monitor any changes to part of the registry.

    Very strange & thus fascinating.......
    It usually means that the cause is Very simple & staring us in the face. LOL

    Thank You Very Much to Everyone for Your Greatly Appreciated Assistance,
    Cheers & Best Wishes from the Land of the Eternal Sunny Day,

    Good Day Dear Friends & Colleagues, [​IMG]

    I Still Need Your Good counsel, Help & Assistance.[​IMG]

    I still Can't link to majorgeeks.

    Have tried Opera 8.x, IE 6 SP1 & FireFox 1.04.

    Have tried linking to:
    majorgeeks.com
    www.majorgeeks.com
    67.19.72.100

    Most of the time (99.99% LOL) I get nothing,
    But on 2 (two) attempts FireFox was the only one to give me a message : "Document contains no data".

    I Have even turned off the Firewall to no aval.

    On 2 occassions I was able to link to it (both times about 16 hours ago):
    (1). just linked to www.majorgeeks.com & Surprise => Got it, next tries failed.
    (2). Linked successfully via a Google cached page to the real live page (again following repeated attempts failed as always ie for the last 36 hours approx.)

    I can access all my ather usual sites without any problem(s).

    I am climbing up the wall....

    Thank You Very Much,[​IMG]
    Cheers & Best Wishes from a Grateful though annoyed Aussie,[​IMG]
