Hi,

I need to access (www.)team-mediaportal(.com), but for some reason I can't.

I'm running Vista Enterprise on my laptop with IE7 and I can access the web site at work. However, at home, with the same laptop, I can't access the site.
This is the only web site that has this problem. I have the same problem on my desktop machine at home, which is running XP.

I know the site is up, because I asked a friend to check the connection.

There's no problem with my router, because no settings have changed since the last time I was able to log on to the site.

The only thing which HAS changed, is my ISP. I phoned them, but they were at a total loss as to the cause. They're not blocking the site.

I think there could be a problem with their DNS server, so I checked the IP address of team-mediaportal.com, but I can't seem to connect with that either. I entered http://213.202.245.208.

Can anyone suggest how I can get onto the site and/or what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Can't access via that ip address but http is ok. Only a couple of things you can try
1. Leave the www out of the address
2. Clear your cookies and temp files

NOTE: every time I type the site's full name, a link gets inserted for some reason, hence the brackets...

The web site is 100% genuine and there are normally no problems with it.

MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - Home

No luck. Cleared the cookies (had done that before anyway) and tried leaving out www.

Can't connect via that link either.

I've tried going via Google, MSN Live - same problem.

Add another site... http://forums.thetechstop.org.

Same issue for me, but I'll bet others can access it.

I can't get that one either mate

Ah, maybe it's gone offline.

Just can't figure out what's going on with Media Portal though.

Thanks for checking.

This must be a problem with my broadband supplier. I was able to view the site for a few minutes, but now it's dropped off again.

F%#K!!!!

Can u ping it? No problem here either. I reckon you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned dodgy ISP routing.

Pinging it doesn't work, but I can use 'nslookup team-mediaportal.com' to get the IP address. I thought I'd be able to get on to the site if I had that, but it's not working.
