Can't get onto the board? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**StingRay** · 10-22-2003, 11:52 AM

Can anybody give me some insight why over the last couple of days when on my home pc's I can't log onto this board or My old truck but can log onto any other web site with no problems? I have scanned for viruses and spyware to no avail. E-mail and all other web sites work fine. I keep getting a gateway time out. I have no problems from my work machine. It's only at home that I have this problem. Could my router be causing a problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Don't ask me why but my router at home does that all the time...it will block some sites while others work perfect. I have cable and it usally does it if I walk off and leave it on a site all nite. On mine if you unplug the router and plug it back in every thing goes to normal

I just got off of the phone with Shaw and they figured it out. The problem was with the proxy and all it took was to uncheck the automatically detect settings box in the IE tools/ Internet options/connections/lan settings. If anybody else has this problem this is the fix. It's tough not checkin this site out 2 or 3 times a night.........Whew
