Whether I use a favorites link, use AOL or IE (AOL is my ISP too), google it or what not, I can't get to geekstogo.com from my home computer. I'm posting from a friend's computer. Lately, I have problems signing into other sites as well. I can't log into my credit card site (I get a warning about using a current version of IE, which I have and using 128-bit encryption, which I have), photoshopuser.com (I just signed in there for the first time yesterday and now I can't log in there today). I have Norton Security Suite 2005 updated regularly, but disabled their firewall and have Zone Alarm's firewall instead. Is something or someone malicious blocking these things, or is it Norton? I tried turning off Zone Alarm and that didn't fix it... so I turned it back on. I want to growl, I am so frustrated that geekstogo.com gets blocked!

Does it say this:

The Web site that you have requested is in violation of your Parental Control settings.
The site you requested was:
http://www.geekstogo...forum/index.php
This site has been categorized as:
News Groups.

Click here to request a reevaluation of this site or to submit a site that should have been blocked.

Hey there, I think this might be your problem. (ZoneAlarm) Open ZoneAlarm and put all the settings on low or off. (This is just for test)

And:

To unblock the category News Groups:
1. Open ZoneAlarm Suite
2. Click Parental Control on the left-hand menu
3. Click the Categories tab
4. Clear the check box next to the category News Groups
You may need to supply a password to perform this action.

Let me know if this worked. :whistling:
