Thread: Ghost in the machine - 4

  1. Ghost in the machine - 4

    For a couple of days now, I cannot access www.drudgereport.com on one PC
    with either IE 6 or Firefox.

    In IE 6:

    First (at the bottom);
    "Website found. Waiting for reply....)

    Then:
    "The page cannot be displayed"

    In Firefox:

    "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

    I have no problems with any other site at all. Or, even with this site on
    the couple of other machines I use here. This mahine has a broadband
    wireless Internet modem and has no blocking software set to prevent access
    to www.drudgereport.com. PC has been checked for malware and viruses but
    came up clean.

    At first, I thought the site was having problems till I found that only this
    machine had this peculiar problem. The site has no problems, AFAIK.

    Any insight would be much appreciated.

    since its happening in FF *and* IE, then its something to do with your
    connection to the drudge report site. I would contact them and ask
    them for help.

    Also, try clearing your cache and cookies in FF and Temporary Internet
    Files and cookies in IE

    Before and After Children

    BEFORE Children: I was thankful for material objects like custom
    furniture, a nice car and trendy clothes.

    AFTER Children: I am thankful when the baby spits up and misses my
    good shirt.
