    Can't get on to site on laptop

    Maybe someone can shed some light on this. ...I can access the site on my phone but not on my laptop.
    Tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox. All other sites are fine.

    Anyone got any ideas .?

        Yeah just IPB.
        no errors or anything.
        I can access the site using the wifi and data on my phone but not through wifi on the laptop. Also can't get on with the desktop using a wired connection.
        Strange.
        The laptop is blue.

                Yep.
                As I have said already, everything else works bar ipb.

                  Have you accessed the site from your laptop or desktop recently?

                    Might be a sign to give up the Poker Martin. Not like you haven't had enough hints.

                          I have no idea then. I assume you have not changed any DNS settings in the last while?

                            Just spoke to my techie brother and he tried the same as me.
                            We both pinged the server and it timed out.
                            He is in Enfield and with a different provider.
                            He reckons that the problem is with the server.
                            It also works on his mobile.
                            Fyi Dom.. the ip address comes back as 96.125.174.190

                            Very strange indeed.

                              It resolved to a different IP for me, try opening a command prompt and typing "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS" without quotes. Also power on and off your router, odds on its a DNS issue.

                                  Just to update, seems to be working ok now, before doing the flush/dns.

                                  My Bro thinks it was a server issue and a few hours would resolve it, looks like he was right.

                                    If you are unable to access a particular website, then there are chances that there is problem with your DNS system. May be you have incorrect DNS settings as at that time the system cannot exactly locate the web address. Just change the DNS settings of your system. Hope it will work for you. All the best !!!!
