I am trying to log into a site that I was able to a couple days ago, but can no longer.
I keep getting an error message.
"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."

How can I fix this?

Thank you tagtwin

This may probably isn't DNS related.
Could well be a simple case of the site being offline.

Have you tried clearing your internet cache and trying again ?

I can get into many sites but cannot get into microsft help or
Life Like Reborn Artists Guild - Index (http://lifelikerebornartistsguild.org/smf/index.php)

So I don't think it's the site being offline.

Anyway, how do I clear out my cache?

Thanks Tagtwin

In your browser, Internet Explorer, it's straight forward.
Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files & Cookies > Clear History.

I am having problems logging into some sites while others I can get into with no problem.
I cannot get into Microsoft help and support, or
Life Like Reborn Artists Guild - Index (http://lifelikerebornartistsguild.org/smf/index.php)

I keep getting this message:
"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."

How can I fix it?

I have merged both of your questions here as they are both the same.
There is no need to post the same issue multiple times.

Now have you tried my suggested resolution ?

Oh I've cleared out the cookies and history. That was the first thing I did.
I'm still stuck unable to access Microsoft help and support or lifelikerebornguild.

Now what?
Thanks in advance for your help.

OK try this.
OPen IE and in the address bar type:
64.202.166.233

This is the IP address for the site you are looking for.

*edit*
Forget that it returns a 403 error.


OK Try pinging the site and see what you get

Start > Run > Type CMD > In the bax box that opens type "PING lifelikerebornartistsguild.org" and see if you get a response.

Nope, that didn't work. I didn't have this problem until after I used ad-aware.
Could I have deleted something by accident?
Thanks
