I am not able to open MSN, Hotmail and few other websites. I have 256 Unlimited plan. Where as when I use MTNl Dial Up I am able to open all the websites. Is there anyone who can help me out or anyone who is facing same kinda problem. I am using a wireless Router and checked disabling Firewall and Port Forwarding.

Try clearing all privacy data from ur browser cache.
Try using Open DNS.

Try pinging the websites and post the result and also the exact error u get when opening these websites.

Hey I think the problem is with my router, My Router is blocking MSN, Microsoft, Youtube Download .com, where as it works fine with a different router. I have a siemens wireless router. Can anyone tell me which port to open to get access MSN and Microsoft and Download.com. Please provide me the port number so that I can forward that port.

No ISP in India is known to block individual websites (there maybe exceptions*). Maybe a temporary glitch. Try experimenting with various DNS servers. Open DNS would be my suggestion, or u can try DNSAdvantage too.

*I am not able to open FileHippo.com - Download Free Software since the past few years in my BSNL connection.

There is a small tool called winsockxp that can repair your connection if its become faulty due to incorrect registry entried.
Google & you'll find it.

Also check your hosts file in system32.They might have been added to it by some program/spyware.

@ http://www.indiabroadband.net/members/powerdoc.html Why do u think that i am unable to open up filehippo for the past 3 years? BSNL blocking it? or Filehippo blocking 59.xx.xx.xx IP range?

I request fellow broadband users who are in the 59.xx.xx.xx IP range to verify whether the url filehippo.com is opening up for them.

Gary4gar · 01-26-09, 03:02 AM

Yep, it does.
no problems in resolving.

try flushing your DNS

cool_techie_tvm · 01-26-09, 07:38 AM
