    Brett, I'm still having the problem of absolutely not being able to get to tigerforums.com from my laptop, which I use as my main computer. Right now I am using my girlfriend's computer, so I am able to log on.

    I tried everything I could think of, including clearing cookies, but nothing. Is it possible there is a block from my end that I don't know about?

    Hopefully this is seen today. If not, I'll try to remember to check in on my work computer on Monday.

    Are both computers accessing through the same network? Are you both in the same house/location or are you are two different locations?

    Sorry, couldn't access this site again until the weekend.

    I am using her computer at her apartment and my laptop at my apartment. Maybe I should transfer my laptop and see if there is a block from my connection.

    Also, how do I check my firewall to see if maybe tigerforums got put on a block list or something?

    I will check this again when I can.

    I finally figured out what the problem is: for some reason my ISP is blocking this site. I will see if I can rect(um)ify the situation, but if not, what do you suggest?

    Why would your ISP be blocking this site?

    I have no idea. But I can access the site at work and my girlfriend's place. Also, when I toted my laptop to different places, thus different ISP's, it worked fine. I also tried accessing tigerforums from my PS3, and it was blocked there, too. My girlfriend said she would call the landlord and ask him to contact the ISP and unblock the site, so hopefully I can access it from home soon.
