Empty your temporary internet files & cookies via internet options & then try again.

[dan101smith]

click Start, Run, type "cmd" and press enter.

Then type "ipconfig /flushdns".

Try it again after that (assuming you haven't got it working yet).

[speng]

Thanx mate but have just tryed it and it still does not work ?

[dan101smith]

Start -> Run -> cmd -> Enter.

Type "ping www.bmwowner.com" and press Enter.

What do you get as the response?

[speng]

says request timed out ?

[speng]

then says ping statistics.

packets sent / recieved 100% loss ?

[speng]

Ok. My computer is definately not duff as Ive just tryed my laptop as well at my residence and the site does not work. However, I tryed the laptop at my girlfiends hse and it worked so I cant honestly understand what the problem is. I take it, its to do with my internet connection ? correct me if im wrong but im just puzzled.

[dan101smith]

Yep, that's your internet connection. Probably a DNS problem at your ISP.

Who do you connect through? Give their tech support a call, they should be able to sort it for you.

[speng]

Ok thanx. I called them and they done some checks for me and they said I must contact the site owner as there is a block from him to me for some reason. something to do with a block down the path which is not letting me access the site. What I need now is to know how and who do I contact from the site so they can release and sort the block please ?

[1ians]

I can access the site but not ping it so I guess ping maybe disabled on the firewall. I have sent a PM to one of the mods on the site refering them to this thread.

Cheers

Ian
