I am trying to access a couple of DVD purchasing sites namely Easydvdmart and idealdvdmart but continually get the follow message:

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Any ideas why? I have tried using IE9 and Firefox and both give the same result.

Cheers

Are you using the correct url? Work for me in IE8 from California:

Ideal DVD for Sale in Australia
Cheap DVDs for Sale in Australia | Buy DVDs Online

Yes I even clicked on the links in your post but got same message. I do not have IE8. I have no idea why I cannot access these sites!!!

I'd try resetting IE 1st

See if you can access those sites using a web proxy

Thanks A Guy but no luck .. I reset IE and still cannot access the sites. I also tried using the web proxy you linked me to again no luck .. no idea what the problem is. I just tried on my wife's computer and same problem there ... beginning to think it is my ISP but cannot figure why they would block those sites.

It does sound like an ISP issue. Why they would block a legit DVD site is beyond me. Usually you can bypass with a proxy. A Guy

You could try turning off the Windows Firewall and the one in your router, temporarily.
