Hey people, I'v been unable to access two sites that I used to frequent. I keep getting the same error message, unable to contact server. They are both pot related sites, not that that matters, I guess LOL
I'm a total dolt with a computor, anyone know what this could be. Is it my firewall or antivirus program doing this? Help is greatly appreciated!

[Cheerful]

I dunno much, but until someone else chimes in, try this:

check your address bar for https: or https:

whichever one is up when you get the error message is the Wrong one, just insert or remove the s and hit Enter.

Hope this helps...if not, join me for a bowl while we wait for more input!

Are you running a Bittorrent client (for example, Bitcomet)?

Also, are you running a firewall?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, turn the program off and try to load the page again. Post the results here, as this will help us to isolate and fix the problem.

Are you sure the sites are not down or gone? With canna sites sometimes they just go away. Try a google search for the sites and try to get in that way, if you are using a bookmark the specific address may have changed.

[Mala Tempora]

Yeah, that's a good point. Go to downforeveryoneorjustme.com and type the address of the website into there. It'll tell you whether the site really is down or not.

I tried downforeveryoneorjustme. both sites are up and running. How do I know if I'm running a firewall?

I also am running spywareguard could this be the problem?

yea most likely actually.

the sites are probably categorized as something that is blocked by default in your spywareguard (bud porn ??). try disabling it and see if you can access the sites then.
