Unable to access forums from home.

@if ®afiq · 3 Jan 2006 at 13:29

I can't access these forums from either my PC or my work laptop. I have Sygate Personal Firewall installed on the PC and nothing (as far as I can tell) on my work PC - although I connect to my router through a program called IBM Connections.

Could it be my Netgear router? I'm not too sure what has happened as I used to have access from home.

Thanks

(I am currently using my work laptop - at work, to type this)

Yes I do ( I should have mentioned it above) is there a known problem with the two?

could be DNS related. Could also be spyware blocking regularly used sites. check your ISP DNs server statuses and run an up to date spyware scan

I'll run the usual apps when I get home, but my work laptop is fairly clean. How can I check the DNS stuff?

That doesn't sound good - where does it leave me? Am I able to give you my IP address and have that unblocked or is an ISP change the only answer?

Will do

Problem solved. I should have just used my firms VPN! (Which I'm happily doing now)
