Got DSL 1/18/07, now I can’t get MySpace to come up. I had no problems getting it to come up with dialup. It was slow but it at least worked, now it doesn’t.
I just type in www.myspace.com to access it, same as I did with dialup, the progress bar at the bottom of the screen goes about 1/3 of the way and then freezes. I’ve waited it out and all that comes up is a screen that reads “Internet Explorer cannot open webpage”. I refresh the page and the same thing happens. There is nothing wrong with my connection or speed (I’ve checked). I even used the link provided by Miss D and the same thing happens as typing it in. I’m going to try to figure out how to check my firewall settings now.
Ok, I switched my firewall off and then tried to go onto MySpace…didn’t work, either. MySpace isn’t the only site I can’t access…..Tagged, Yahoo Launchcast, and some other sites are also ones I’ve attempted to access without results. I’ve called my DSL provider and they’ve had me check my speed to and from servers, it’s all good. They blamed it on the large amount of traffic to those sites, I told them that it was VERY coincidental that the traffic has increased at the exact time that I got DSL. If it were a traffic problem, I should have been able to access them at SOME time or the other during the last 5 days! I’m getting a BIT aggravated! I’m about to tell my provider that they can eat their DSL I don’t care if it IS faster! lol
