Cant Get On Website
 

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?

works for me...

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

thanks for replying..........What are peerguardian and protowall, ive never heard of them.

Can you ping the website?

- Go to Start
- 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'
- Do you get a reply? I receive the following (the more important parts in bold), and I am able to access the site:

If the site is not pingable, then it is possible that adobe was added to your hosts file, or added as a restricted website in a firewall (re: cyrnels post)

peer guardian blocks adobe.com by default.

Or that!

er um, the ip that adobe uses that is...

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.
