I have not been able to access the Guardian's website for a while now. I can access other uk news sites just fine (I'm in the US), so that's not the problem. Mozilla tells me that "Firefox can't find the server at www.guardian.co.uk.", and IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and gives me an opportunity to "diagnose connection problems"

When I choose to diagnose the problem it says that "The Domain Name Server may be down", it also says "Windows found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically".

I do not get the same results with any other website. It is also not limited to my computer, as my daughter's laptop gets the same results, so it must be something with the internet connection.

I get my internet via a netgear router with a built in firewall, and am connected to it by ethernet cable. I called my ISP tech support and they could not help me since I am able to access the internet just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You are not the only one computerwannabe. I have the exact same problem, on both my desktop and laptop. The guardian is the ONLY site I cannot access on both computers. And, like you, I can access it via localbypass.com.

I am in the UK, and BT is my ISP. My best guess is that the guardian have boosted security since being recently hacked into. Either that or the ISP is the problem.

If you sort the problem out computerwannabe, please let me know how you did it. And if anyone else has further advice, I'd be very grateful.
