Cant Get On Website - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

simonrex22 · 01-31-2007, 05:30 PM

I have not been able to get on adobe.com for about a week now. I dont get any error messages, it just keeps trying to connect. Could someoe else try to get on the website and let me know what happens? What could be causing this besides site maintenance?

Yes, they've been up. Are you running peerguardian, protowall, or something similar?

Can you ping the website?

- Click on Run
- Enter the following, no quotes - 'cmd'
- Click on OK to open a command prompt/window
- enter the following, no quotes - 'ping adobe.com'

peer guardian blocks adobe.com by default.

Well, you can try pinging me all you want, and you won't get a reply. My router has a basic firewall that I don't trust, and I have a software firewall (Comodo) installed as an extra layer of protection. Pinging outwards though, thats okay.
