24. If you're using firefox, try this:
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 05:22 PM by Kutjara
Type "about:config" into the address bar (without the quotes). You'll go to a whole slew of "hidden" Firefox settings (after a dire warning about "voiding your warranty" - like Firefox has a warranty). Now, type "IPv6" (again, without the quotes) into the "Filter" line. You should then see "network.dns.disableIPv6". Double click on this, so that the word "false" at the end switches to "true." Now restart Firefox and see if you can access the page.

I usually find that, if I can't access one page or another, it's usually because the server hosting that page gets confused when IPv6 is enabled on the user's browser.

You can leave IPv6 switched off, because very few sites use it and those that do also support IPv4.
