I make a fair number of purchases from an internet site that suddenly
quit working for me https://centerfiresystems.com/ It had worked for
a very long time and they have a lot of my money. i like to watch them
for sales.

Any way, now I get "server timeout" in firefox and "internet explorer
cannot display the webpage" In IE7.

This is the only web site I know of that does not come up on this
computer. I exchanged emails with the company and they don't know of
anybody else having trouble. They suggested maybe i have a firewall
blocking them. is this possible? Other ideas?

it works for me superficially

My replies here and at the CNC newsgroup are having about a 50% success
rate. They send, but apparently do not show up.

So... I'll say this again...

Try typing this into your web browser less the quotes: "206.188.219.158"

Maybe they are making it through but not back to me?

There is a chance you have a redirect browser virus...

If you use Explorer, try loading it in Firefox or Chrome, etc. Just
move the names around a bit if you are using a different browser.

Where are you trying to access the site from?

Home?
Piggyback on your neighbor?

Work?
Your shop?
Employer's shop?


IT guys routinely block non work related sites that see a lot of visits from
their networks.

Maybe try as: http://www.centerfiresystems.com

Sometimes you need the WWW. part & also your link was https, which is a
secure link?

You're running Windows? Download & burn a 'live' linux CD, then see
if you can connect. If not, it's not on your end.

I use a copy of 'Puppy linux' on a live CD to test for internet
problems.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-4.2.1retro-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso

I use 'Deep Burner' to make the bootable CD from the ISO image:

http://www.deepburner.com/download/DeepBurner1.exe

Both programs are freeware.

If you can reach that site with these, then check the 'hosts' file to
see if it was accidently added.

Try IE8?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/i...downloads/ie-8

Karl, there is a certain procedure to website/networking
troubleshooting, similar to, say, "why my car does not start"
troubleshooting.

It is not some kind of a mysterious skill.

To get to a website you need to have a name resolution working, then
be able to connect to that website's TCP port 80, etc.

You may have a program interfering with your network, such as
antivirus or family values protector or whatever.

What I am saying is that it should not be a mystery, as such.

Windows has tools such as a command line program to look up DNS and it
has telnet to check connectivity to a certain port like port 80, used
for the web.

As iggy mentioned, name resolution might not be working for the
site, but it seems more likely a firewall program on your computer
is getting in the way. Anyhow, to see if it's a name resolution
problem, also enter the command "ping 206.188.219.158". It will
look different on your MS-Windows system, but what I see on my
linux system when pinging centerfiresystems.com or its numeric IP
or google.com or its numeric IP is shown below. On your
windows system leave out the -c3 option. If you can ping google
or 173.194.33.41 but neither of centerfiresystems.com or
206.188.219.158 then suspect a firewall has blocked that IP and
look at your firewall configuration and rules. If you can't ping
any of them, then suspect a firewall or similar has blocked the
ping program; but getting "request timed out" makes that unlikely.

Also, regarding the site itself, using firefox 16.0.1 on ubuntu
12.04 linux 3.2.0-32, addresses http://centerfiresystems.com/ or
https://centerfiresystems.com/ or centerfiresystems.com or
206.188.219.158 all end up at the same centerfiresystems http: page.

If ping cannot access a site, its unlikely your browser can either,
although ping uses ICMP protocol rather than HTTP protocol and some
sites may block ICMP while allowing HTTP. If you get ping to work
but not your browser, then in your browsers, clear all the cookies
and try to access centerfiresystems. In preferences make a note
about current preferences and then on the Security tab temporarily
turn off Block reported attack sites, try to access centerfiresystems,
then turn it back on. Similarly, temporarily turn off Block reported
web forgeries, try to access centerfiresystems, then turn it back on.

BINGO!

I can see the site. OK, this proves my computer is protecting me from
myself. Ideas on how to fix it by chance? I have win7 and AVG for
anitvirus, problem is in both IE7 and firefox on this computer.

Somebody suggested eliminating the cookies for this site. I know how
to wipe them all out, not edit them. Taking them all would be tossing
the baby out with the bath water.

Ping don't work, firefox don't work, IE7 don't work, BUT the proxy
idea did! I assume sence both firefox and IE7, plus ping don't work,
changing settings in IE7 won't help. Correct?

Trace complete.

If you are not on windows the command is most likely traceroute
and works slightly differently.

Ping don't work, firefox don't work, IE7 don't work, BUT the proxy
idea did! I assume sence both firefox and IE7, plus ping don't work,
changing settings in IE7 won't help. Correct?


It is likely blocked in your hosts file.

If pinging other sites worked ok and ping 206.188.219.158 failed, then
browser settings probably aren't the problem, and more likely the site
is being blocked by firewall software on your computer.

I just learned its coming from my AVG anitvirus program. If I disable
this program, things work fine.

Just in case someone knows something about AVG, I'll try to fix it.
Otherwise, its time to dump this one and find another anitvirus
software.

I get "request timed out"

Some free proxy sites you can experiment with:

http://proxify.com/

http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy/

Should let you get to their site, but I wouldn't try ordering stuff
while using it...

BINGO!

I can see the site. OK, this proves my computer is protecting me from
myself. Ideas on how to fix it by chance? I have win7 and AVG for
anitvirus, problem is in both IE7 and firefox on this computer.

YOu never responded to the possibility that your host is stopping it.
What does tech slopport say, hmm? Also, have you looked at your
firewall to see if it's in the blacklist? Or tried adding it to the
whitelist? (It has been quite a while since I last worked with a
firewall, so pardon my terminology if it's not quite right.)


Somebody suggested eliminating the cookies for this site. I know how
to wipe them all out, not edit them. Taking them all would be tossing
the baby out with the bath water.

Open the cookie file, highlight the CIQ (cookie in question and
hit the delete key. CIQ gone, all others OK.

I gave up -paid- AVG after a virus got through and ate my hard drive.

Try Microsoft Security Essentials. Free, good, updated daily.
And _I_ can see centerfire.com with it active. ;

Works here. Try http://centerfiresystems.com/

You may need to change DNS servers if your ISP blocks it for some
reason. Try 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8
