To Keith,
You could try the following diagnostic tests to try and identify why you
can't get to Jim's website, an then fix the problem:
1. Temporarily turn off your firewall and anti-virus software and see
whether you can navigate to the site. If you can, check out whether Jim's
site is on a black list of 'bad sites'. Turn your firewall and anti-virus
software back on again straight afterwards without going to any other
page.
2. Check the entry in your hosts file to see whether the IP address
assigned to Jim's site is pointing at your local host. To do this, you
need
to find your hosts file. It's location depends on your operating system,
but on XP systems it's usually located here:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
The file is called "hosts" without an extension. Open it using notepad.
If
it's very large, it might take a long time to open. When it does open,
use
the find function in Notepad to search for:
www.kitchensinc.net
If that URL is listed in your hosts file, there will be a four part number
before it which is the IP address. See what that number is. If it's
127.0.0.1 (or something similar) then that's your problem.
To correct it, you need to delete the whole line from the file.
If it's another number, and you're not sure what it means, then just
delete
the line anyway, no harm will be done.
Save the hosts file and close notepad.
Reboot your computer (to flush the hosts cache) and try again to navigate
to
Jim's site.
If this still doesn't work, you can try a further step as follows:
Navigate to your desktop and find My Computer. Bring up the context menu
with the Applications Key and select Manage. In the tree view, select
Services and Applications, and right arrow, and then select Services. Tab
to the list view on the right, and cursor down until you have selected
the
service called:
DNS Client Service
With this service highlighted, bring up the context menu with the
applications key, choose Properties, and tab to Start Up Type, and select
Disabled. Tab to OK and press enter.
Reboot your computer, and then see if you can get to Jim's website now.
Either way, you may or may not notice a difference in performance by
disabling your DNS Client Service; if you do, you may need to put it back
to
either Manual or Automatic.
These steps are for XP but I understand similar principles apply on other
versions of Windows so you should be able to use this to work it out.
3. If the above hasn't helped, you could try other things such as
re-setting your router but that's not something I could advise on.
Hope this helps.
Phil

Hi Keith,
Yeah, my web site is at
http://www.kitchensinc.net
That really is weird that your computer will not let you go there. I
really
do not think that it is my site. You know since you can go there with
your
wife's computer and others are not having a problem with my site. I just
don't know.
