tigerdirect website not working

advancedgeek · 05-19-2008, 03:08 AM

hey guys the tigerdirect website doesn't work and it seems to be unresponsive when im at home but when i go to school (same isp) it works. i don't think my isp would block such site but at school i can access it.

IT wouldnt be blocked at home. I just got there. So i would scan the PC, reset the router and modem. See if any of that helps. Could also just be waiting on a DNS update from their servers.

i don't think it has to do with my modem or pc because it doesn't work on both of them and i scanned but nothing seems to be wrong. and afaik it is the only website thats not working. i can ping it but there is no response. might be that they blocked icmp ping responses

It does sound as if it is a DNS update issue. I would contact the ISP jsut in case.

well i have the same isp as i do in my school and also i dont think it is dns issue because when i ping it with dnsstuff.com and my comp i get both same ips and im pretty sure something is wrong because it is the only website that does not work so far. it wont even have the title bar showing and it says connecting to tigerdirect.com for ages

Well check all your settings then. Cause the site works. I have been there in 4 different browsers.

Hosts file, maybe?

Mak213 · 05-23-2008, 08:27 PM

Maybe something with GPO as well.
