This has been driving me insane...

I was uploading files to the server using adobe dreamweaver, when it crashed. I closed and opened it again, the program hung upon start up. I followed the help and fixed the issue by deleting the cache folder in users/name/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver/SiteCache . This cure this issue and restarted correctly.

Upon accessing my website in Chrome I get the above message. I checked all my websites, I get the same message. All other websites work correctly.

Following help lines I have done the following:

1. Removed/Turned off Browser Extensions

2. Checked the Proxy Server was on auto

3. Reset TCP/IP and DNS - netsh int ip reset - ipconfig /flushdns

4. Reset Network Settings from Settings - Network settings

5. I uninstalled Network adapters and restarted

6. i have opened Cmd and "IPCONFIG /RELEASE" and then "IPCONFIG /RENEW"

7. I then downloaded firefox and opera and tried them

8 Contacted Godaddy, they said it was my end and every was ok.

9 I knew it was ok as i checked on my phone, the websites are ok.

10. I ran my phone as mobile hotspot, using my packed data network, connected my pc, and the websites load up, leading me to a Network Issue?

11. I reset my modem, I then returned it to factory settings

With non of the above working, I thought, go back to the route of the problem

12. I deleted Dreamweaver from my pc - sadly no avail.

I am now backing up all my Drives ready for a 'Return my PC to Factory Settings'.

Before I do this, Has Anyone got a Solution? I can not think what else to do.

I really appreciate it.

It works fine here. Have you restarted your router and pc? You may be on a temp ban list for too many connections.

usually lifts itself after a while

Yes, it works, just not on my pc!!!

I thought about a ban list, so i contacted godaddy, they said its ok...

i by passed my router by tethering my phone, and it works fine...

So it is the network... i restarted the router, i then returned it factor setting.. and i still have the issue

Deffo sounds like your router as you already used a hotspot.

so try the following in a command prompt

type:
1. nslookup
2. server <your routersIP address>
3. your website name
4. server 8.8.8.8
5. your website name

let us know the output

also you could have a look in your hosts file

Default Server: ttrouter
Address: 192.168.1.1

> server 192.168.1.1
Default Server: ttrouter
