Browser fails to open specific site
Jun 27th, 2008 by dipankar
Today I faced a problem with the browsers both IE and Firefox. I tried to open http://pdshop.contractorsnow.net, but both browser showing page cannot be displayed. I asked my friend to open the same site. In his system the page opened properly. So, am get sure that this is the problem with my system. Finally I solved the problem, by help of my Boss. locate the file “hosts” under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc (for Windows 2000) or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc (for Windows XP). Then add a line like: 72.14.207.99 google.com
For this you have to know the IP of that particular site. Now you may ask where could you get the IP. Here is the solution: http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php
Just put the url of the site you want to know the IP.
And after that the page is opening. No need to reboot after the changes.
Cheers…
