[QUOTE="Topper, post: 1012106, member: 186250"] Just goes to show how wrong one can be, finally yesterday I discovered it was actually the Avast firewall blocking my access to satellites.co.uk. It has affected at least three other members of staff so it is odds on it has affected some members as well and hence the title change to this thread. I personally have spent over 50 hours trying to track down this problem, I have connected via wifi, direct cable, mobile hotspot, I have followed all the processes[URL='http://www.deskdecode.com/err_connection_timed_out/'] on this link apart from the last few[/URL] and many other helpful websites, I have driven BT mad and I have driven Rolf mad and it all boils down to the Avast firewall. When it is up and running it either denies me access to the site or it allows me to log in then randomly blocks me on this site but not on any other website that I visit. So I have now taken this issue to Avast, I have disabled their firewall but naturally I am not running without a firewall I am using the standard Microsoft version in place. I did originally make a URL exception rule for this website however, this too failed on a couple of occasions. So if anyone has been affected, I can only apologise on behalf of satellites.co.uk but the issue is unfortunately squarely and firmly in the lap of Avast [/QUOTE]
