I have no idea what the hell the problem is, but it's super frustrating. It's the only site that I can't get to at all. It doesn't matter if I click on a specific link from an email reminder or just type the main page in.....it just won't work.

I'm running a zone alarm firewall and I've marked it as a safe site there....and as a trusted site through IE.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Please? :cry:

This is the page I get whenever I try:

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer
 
First thing that comes to mind is some sort of virus, maybe trojan horse. Just fixed my uncle's computer who was having similar problems. Had a ton of spyware, and trojan horse virus's. You need some spyware killer, and a good virus scanner! Just my two pennies though. Hope this helps ya....

I'm running Norton system works 2003.....I guess I can scan the system again though.....cause that sounds like it could be a virus.

This is the ONLY site that I can't get to. It's pretty dumb.

More suggestions would be appreciated.
 
My ISP's DNS servers suck, and hates NAXJA. You may want to try to manually adding naxja to your host file on your box. This will bypass the DNS servers, but you'll need to change it if the site changes IPs

Ok, so how do I do that? :huh:

I know I can find the host file, but I don't know how to add naxja to it. Are you saying that I should add the 68.125.168.12 number or whatever the heck it is and make that = naxja.org?

And how do I find that number if that's what I need to do?

I scanned my computer and it's virus/trojan horse free.

Thanks,
Brian
