Hi All,
I can access all my normal websites that I view except one.
It comes up with cannot find server page.

I have tried for hours to solve this in my internet options, disabling firewall.

I use either IE or Firefox

The site does work on other machines

The site is Betfair.com

Any information would be very grateful.

I only have so much hair left

Thanks and most grateful

Scott

Cannot find server or DNS Error

I have formatted my machine and added nothing to it and it still doesn't work.
Could it be my IP ?

Thanks

Hi James,

I have contacted Betfair and they have given me a new address to use, which works !!!
So now I can use them.

I have tried to understand why I was unable to use that particular site and still none the wiser.
What you have suggested I have tried.

All other sites works except that particular one. It is not the end of this matter I endeavour to find out the problem.

All help is grateful, and much appreciated.

Thanks

Scott
