Guest Rich Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I am unable to access www.equifax.com using my Vista Ultimate SP1 system. Both IE7 and Firefox are unable to connect. I am running Norton Internet Security 2008. No other sites I have tried to access are blocked. I have checked for restricted sites in IE settings and have disabled all NIS protection. Parental controls are not turned on. I am able to access the site using two other systems on my network that are running XP SP2 with NIS 2008. Any ideas what is blocking this site? Quote

It can be used to return the loopback address for certain lookups, maybe equifax is in there with 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. If it is, remove it (you may have to scroll down to see all entries in this file). Are there any proxy servers involved? Some web filter may be inserted between your browser and the ISP (as a proxy) and be malfunctioning or misconfigured. Quote
Guest FromTheRafters Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Oh, and in addition to my other post in this thread, you may want to confirm that your DNS server setting is set for the correct server. Bad guys have been known to change this to one they control the data of - just like the hosts file, they provide a wrong number in return for a lookup and then can "spoof" the site you intended to reach at this new fraudulent IP address. Not too helpful I'm afraid, but you asked for ideas.

And before Paul Montgomery replies to this response with the same "So can the OP using two other computers on the network. He wants to know why HIS computer can't.", yes, I know. But the implication from the OP is that it may be somehow related to Vista SP1, so this post is only intended to indicate that it doesn't appear to be Vista SP1's fault.

Look, if you disconnect the Vista machine from the router, connect the machine directly to the modem and the machine can access the site, then you know the problem is somewhere else. Quote

That is the ONLY mention he made of SP1 and is a normally expected inclusion when describing the system having a problem. It in no way - except in your wild imagination - implies that SP1 is part of the problem. Quote

Guest Michael Walraven Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Yes I can. From which I deduce that it is not the 'content' of the site that is causing the problem. The error is Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage, this after a time out of several seconds.
