moray1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hope somebody can help. Over the last week or two I have had problems connecting to one particular website. The site is www.joinedpublicclan.nl (a dutch based gaming site). When I connect it takes ages to download the pages on the site, 3 out of 5 times I am redirected to the "IE cant find this webpage" page, if I refresh it will load but again takes forever. THIS IS THE ONLY SITE I HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON. It used to be ok until a week or two ago. I have been in touch with the sites webmaster/admin who says that all appears ok from his end and talking to other folk who use the site (from Europe and beyond) they are not experiencing any problems. I have tried flushing the DNS cache and deleting temp internet files and cookies but the problem persists. My OS is XP and I use IE version 7. Anybody got any answers? Thank you.

Humpty Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Could trying with Firefox be an option? Can't really help with IE as I hardly ever use it and I would have probably suggested clearing the dns cache which you have already done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2008 It could also be ISP related as they will sometimes block websites, although I doubt that's the actual cause. The only way to find out if it's your ISP is to call them. Other things can be if a site is in the Restricted Sites, blocked via the HOSTS file or adblocking software. Also some sites won't let you download anything if you block their ad's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray1 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Have tried with Firefox and still have same problem. I have also scanned pc with Windows defender, Spy-Bot, F-Secure, AVG, Super anti spyware, Reg cleaner and CCleaner but all came up with nothing showing.

Humpty Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You could try accessing that site using OpenDNS to see if it makes difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray1 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Thanks for the help Humpty, tried it and it makes no difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte Lambardi Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Do you think it could be the site itself? It's quite possible that the site itself could be uber slow. I remember I ran across a Japanese site that uber slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray1 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I had wondered whether it was the site, but other people I talk to have no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray1 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Seem to have sorted the problem out now, not 100% but much much faster at loading. How? So simple. Just added the web site to my trusted sites box. Still don't know why it happened in the first place though. A BIG THANK YOU to all that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
