Can't reach Whirlpool after router settings change?

ryangus · 5th November 2009, 8:03 PM

I enabled the firewall on my Billion 7404VGP router, and couldn't bring up whirlpool.net.au. All other sites were fine.

As a last resort, I changed all the settings back, thus disabling the firewall, and I still can't get to whirlpool!

Any ideas what's going wrong, and how to fix it?

Have you tried my other 3 suggestions?

Check your hosts file?

Can't ping it, flushed the dns, and can't connect from another PC.

How do I check my hosts file?

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Drag/drop "hosts" into notepad and check for anything that could be blocking/altering your ability to browse WP.

Ask your ISP (Internode your case) about looking into it for you.

The hosts file seems to be the default text only. I'll quiz Internode on it today. Still can't explain why it would be only though? other .net.au sites, such as abc.net.au work fine.
