727998 2008-12-12 01:20:00 Ok this has me confused.
I am unable to load several websites using either Firefox or Internet Explorer.
I can however ping them so they must be there. The ones I have tried just now and cant get are: stuff.co.nz; vodafone.co.nz; nzx.com
It is very unlikely these sites are all down at the same time?

Any other site I have tried works fine.

Any suggestions as to what is going on?

728001 2008-12-12 01:32:00 Just tried that on nzx.com. It makes no difference still does not load. CliveM (6007)
728002 2008-12-12 01:39:00 Tried on vodafone.co.nz. That is giving page load error 'The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.' CliveM (6007)

728004 2008-12-12 01:47:00 Anything dodgy in your hosts file?

How do I find that out?

ISP is Compass - Operating system XP Home and Vista Home Premium. I have been trying on three different machines.

If so, while not impossible that its a network infection, sounds more like a router / Firewall problem.

What Router do you have, and what AV / Security software ?

NOD32 & Comodo Pro. Router is an Asus WL -500W wireless router.

It seems to be only some NZ based sites that will not load. BNZ, Vodafone, Stuff & NZ Stock exchange. While they can all be slow at times they always loaded ok.
