This is unclear, it appears you are trying get around restrictions on what websites you can visit through your company's LAN. If so, we cannot and will not help with that. Your company owns the equipment and the connection. They are entitled to restrict access. To try an get around those restrictions could get you fired and it would be unethical for us to help.

Hello sir, sorry for its not so clear on your part. I own this internet cafe compose of only 8 units, the most visited site is the Friendster site, now I am getting to lost income because of having problem with friendster.

Ive contact our ISP they said its the Site itself who has tha problem,,than I ve contact Friendster Site they say its our Internet Provider.

I am just wondering why other shops can access friendster normally, mine do not.
I can log in but has some problem, others pictures dont come out.

If its on the Friendster site, why others customers of them can view it normally.

Just happen 2 weeks until now.

pLease advise. tnx

Ahh, ok that makes a difference. The only thing I would do is check your systems for viruses and your proxies to see if anything might be causing these blocks. Try hooking a PC directly to your broadband access, bypassing any routers or servers you have. See if the problems still exist. If you can pinpoint where the problems are coming from, that's the first step in getting it fixed.

On a side note. As noted you first posted this in Forum Help. This means you had to scroll past all the other forums, including the Computer forum and ignore a Read Me First warning message about the use of Forum Help. You are not the only one who has done this, but I'm curious as to why you did. Maybe if we can understand why people do that we can improve the site so they don't.

So, if I understand you, you just basically weren't concerned about the proper way to use this forum. But I'm wondering what you thought of when seeing the list of forums? Didn't it occur to you to look for a forum appropriate to your question. Again, I'm just trying to understand.

Again Sir my mistake, my apology. if you you allow me I would like to get back to what you advice to me regarding the Site problem.

I connected directly into a single pc only without the router the broadband access, surprisingly, it turns out to be fine. When I connected it into the router, same problem happens on the same computer that I used.

I even called up to our Customer service, they said it is block by the router, but I have been using this set up for almost 2 years now and its doing fine only this past weeks.

Sir, Do you have an idea how to fix this problem?

Have you gone into your router's configuration to see if that is true?
