W7 Ultimate/IE8 some sites not working
Hi All,
New to the forum but thought this was the best place to get help.
I currently have windows 7 ultimate which has been working prefectly since day 1 however I can't get some sites to work, 1 of which is www.cdcovers.cc and utorrent.com (second 1 I found on another forum so thought I would try and doesn't work for me either) now for him clearing the hosts file fixed it but it didn't for me.
If I ping the www.cdcovers.cc I get a general failure but if I ping it from an xp or vista machine on the same network I get a reply and the site works fine.
Trying the site on my machine just times out and get the usual google page saying oops.
These are things i've tried : -
Resetting router to defaults
Changing lan port on router
Reset IE8 to defaults
Create test user account on pc (didn't help)
Disabled IE addons
Cleared hosts file
Changed DNS servers on router (from isp) (tried 3 sets of numbers)
Tried accessing site via IP address (times out)
Is there anything else I could try to fix it as it's getting annoying now, had an issue with java not working on some sites but have reset the certificates under control panel-java which fixed that but can't seem to fix this issue.
I tried the proxify website to access the site above and it worked instantly so a little unsure.
Thanks
Mark
