All weekend I havent been able to get on digital spy, I was on there on Friday posting, and now all I get is "page cannot be displayed" but I know the site isnt down because I sent the link to my friend and she could get on there fine. Everywhere I else I go to works fine.

Any idea what I can do to fix this, I have deleted my cookies and internet files, and tried typing the address in manually at the top.

Not the end of the world, but still annoying all the same!
Thanks!
 
I get the page cannot be displayed as if I am not connected to the internet.
It takes ages to try and load it and then get

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

For offline users

You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds

Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.

To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)

Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.




But I am because then I can click on any other web page and it works straight away. The link I have in the drop down bar that usually works is this

Your machine's set to use Tiscali's DNS servers:

Using Pipex's might be a start though.
 
So how do I get back onto pipex?
Thats who I pay my money too, and like I said its only this one site that wont load.
 
It's possible you've got other entries cached, and that's how they work.
Presumably you've changed the DNS servers Windows uses somewhere - either (in XP) Control Panel -> Network Connections -> your network card -> Properties -> TCP/IP -> Properties and the two fields at the bottom, or within your router's web interface (if you use one).

You're using a Tiscali IP address to post on here too - Tiscali own Pipex, but if you're with Pipex itself you should still have a Pipex IP...
 
I had problems viewing articles on DS as well. The home page opens fine but you click a link to any news item and it just sits there and times out :/
