Anyone good with computers? Trouble accessing the forum

[Pikey Motorsports]

I have not been able to acess the forum when connected to my home wifi be it via various laptops or on my phone, but no probs on my phone with 3g.. So im guessing its something to do with my router or something internet wise, can anyone help?

Cheers

Do basic steps first mate, full router shutdown and reboot. Also have you tired the website in another browser, ie Chrome or Firefox.

I've been having similar probs to you on the home wifi, the forum loads most of the time but it's when I try to post something it usually crashes and then I get the "can't connect to server" message. Could last anywhere from 5 mins to a few hours then forum will load again, no prob. Works fine on my phone using 3G. Not sure of the cause of it but I'm no good with computer stuff so just put up with it lol.

run CCleaner mandy and see if that helps. Really easy to use :

Is access limited to these forums or is it global?

Ok, if using windows 7 left click on the wireless icon next to the clock.
Is your network ssid seen and are you connected?

We had this problem a while ago.

Not really sure what caused it.

Windows 7
Click the Start button.
Enter cmd in the Start menu search field.

Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.

Type the following command and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns

If the command was successful, you will see the following message:

Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
