Website Not Loading

[lammy1961]

I have 2 desktop PC's plugged into the same router, one has windows 7 and the other has trusty old Windows XP Pro, yesterday I was unable to access this site http://www.world-of-satellite.com on my XP machine, but when I tried from work it was fine, "Strange" so that ruled out the site being down.....I then booted the Windows 7 PC up when I got up this morning and it allows me to access this site, but the XP gives me the error message "Server Not Found" Firefox cant find the server at http://www.world-of-satellite.com
I have tried with Internet Explorer and it's just the same.
I have the same antivirus software on both machines...Strange one ?


Any ideas ?

Thank you.

Our forum was moved last Friday so could still be propagating.

I dont think It's that Sic, I have the 2 PC's running in the house the Win 7 one loads the site, the XP one gives the error message.

Thanks.

You tried clearing cache etc..?

well both my xp and windows 7 machines work fine on the site. as sic pointed out the site recently changed servers / hosts and it can take between 48 hrs to a week for the DNS settings to fully propagate throughout the internet.

Press Start->Run->cmd
when command prompt opens type
ipconfig /flushdns

[lammy1961]

Yes...Sic...Cleared cache.

Press Start->Run->cmd
when command prompt opens type
ipconfig /flushdns

Done that as well punisher....Just the same.

Just accessed it from my iPhone logged onto the home network, no problem at all ?
It was working from the XP machine on Sunday evening.

you sure a firewall or something hasn't blocked the site?

Boot the pc up in safe mode and see of you can get on, to boot in safe mode reboot and as the pc goes to reboot keep pressing F8 and then chose safe mode with networking and then see if you can get online then. If you can then there is something loaded on the computer blocking it in normal mode

Try downloading a different browser than the one you are currently using - firefox, google chrome etc, and see if you can access via that.
There are so many variables it's hard to pin-point one particular thing
Just a thought and worth trying.
