Weird then because I can access any other site but not themdunno.gif

blocked at work?

might be a DNS issue or something? does www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk work?

can you try setting your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (if you can get into those settings)

Not at work, never had a problem before, that doesn't work.

Just been on to the Premium TV site and selected a number of clubs through their partnership link and can get on them all but not LCFCdunno.gif

Davie, your ISP (BT, virgin, talktalk, sky etc. whoever you use) has a system called DNS servers which look up what IP address a certain website is - but like the BT paper phone book, if the address they have for lcfc.com is wrong then it won't be able to find the server the site runs off, so it won't work.

The 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are google's DNS servers which generally always work, so manually setting these normally fixes DNS-related problems.

Is it the same for Vista

Thanks but surely that can't be the problem, how will it help?

Ok don't mess with them then. have you tried using a different Browser?

Posted

on the link smudge suggested, the 2nd option using notepad might be easier

so..

1) open notepad

2) file > open

3) paste in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

4) add this line to the bottom:

84.53.132.74 www.lcfc.com

5) file > save

6) restart your browser

It works in Firefox but I've never had a problem with Chrome before.

I do use Sky and I believe the IP address is random - can that be the case?

use firefox then!

it's nothing to do with your IP address (which will be random), the problem might be finding which IP address the lcfc.com website is running on

edit: many moons ago when I used windows PCs I used to use chrome and actually had quite a lot of problems of sites not loading in it, but they would load in firefox etc. There was some option in there called 'website prefetching' or similar that I had to turn off and from then on everything worked - no idea if it's this though, was a few years ago.

There is a bigger question to be answered here, why would you possibly want to go on the OS :whistle:

I was trying to research some historical information but I've given up now.

Ok I'll settle for Firefox now as it's not that important to take up all of your time and effort.

Thanks for your help.thumbsup.gif

Not the best advice I've ever seen!

C:\Users\me4>nslookup 84.53.132.74

84.53.132.74: Non-existent domain

lcfc.com is:

C:\Users\me>nslookup www.lcfc.com

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: a1963.g.akamai.net

Addresses: 2.20.183.184

2.20.183.168

Aliases: www.lcfc.com

www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk

cp73509.edgesuite.net

Edit: none of those IPs get me anywhere near lcfc.com either. Not sure what's going on :(

On the same topic, I can get www.nationwide.co.uk fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Google Chrome. Now that's irritating :)

I reckon you're all getting way too technical for an issue like this. Just try turning the computer off and on again! :D
