Maybe the problem lies in the sites themselves not being coded correctly? Can you screenshot or post the full error message?

dave13142 · 01-08-2007, 23:07

ok it says quote...... forbbiden you don,t have permission to access/on this server Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request......... thats all it says paul

No problems getting on them here, im in Stoke

Paul K · 01-08-2007, 23:11

And you think that something VM is doing can cause that?

xpod · 01-08-2007, 23:11

Sorry about that....i am on Virgin Media but i`m down in SE London.

dave13142 · 01-08-2007, 23:15

Paul K · 01-08-2007, 23:15

Not far from E. London here either and both working. Have you got any proxies set in your browser?

dave13142 · 01-08-2007, 23:17

If you`ve never set a proxy i doubt thats the problem but it would do no harm to check i dont think.
If i recall correctly it`s control panel>internet options>connections>lan settings and make sure nothing is ticked.

If i`m wrong someone will correct me

dave13142 · 01-08-2007, 23:31

no nothing checked there but thnx for suggestion

as i say it seems strange that without any prompting i can access these sites but not on home network namely virgin media
