Martin's IT problems

That's interesting as RFCM is HTTPS.

This sounds like a cache problem (trying to connect to an older version of the site )

What is the exact URL you use ?

Thanks Simon.

The URL showing in my browser is simply:
rulesforcommonman.uk

No www or HTTP or HTTPS preceding it.

And to reiterate, this all works fine with all my devices on data or from other WiFi connections.

The full URL is https://rulesforcommonman.uk

try this

That is one of the things I'd already tried. Still doesn't work now, I'm afraid.

If you take 1 PC and it works on a different network/hotspot, and then not on your home network, then it does imply it not a PC issue and is network/modem/router related

Have you tried a 'hard' reset of your router? Normally there is a button you need to hold on /or hole for paperclip etc.

[Administrator]

before we get too far. Just checking do you have just a single 'box' to the internet? not seperate modem, wifi or switch in the equation?  It is just ethernet cable from the wall to the wifi box?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Yup - fibre to box on the wall, then ethernet cable to the WiFi box. I wouldn't know how to do anything more complicated!

Indeed, I've believed all along that it's an issue with my networking kit not speaking to the Forum.

I haven't tried the hard reset, but will look into that, thanks.

I've just reset the router. No joy there either, I'm afraid.

I am now, as of late morning, not able to access via my home WiFi. Worked fine earlier when I posted about last night's game.

I am getting an error saying cannot connect to website as it taking too long to respond. I am using a mobile so cannot check full response. It may a different response on a PC. Other websites working fine so my access to the Internet is working. I am on
Virgin BTW.

Checked DNS lookup up using MX tool
and server and certificate are fine.

I will reboot router later as my wife is using it for work.

How come there is a thread on here in Chinese. Can't understand any of it, or should that read IT.

Mark,
Your problem is exactly the same as mine including the Internet provider, Virgin Media. I've tried rebooting the router, a few times including leaving it without power overnight without solving the problem. As a temporary measure I'm using a VPN to access the forum.

Please would you post any progress here.
I'm away on holiday from tomorrow for just over week, so I can't try anything else for a while.

Thank you and best wishes,
Martin from a small village near Grimsby

Yep - that's the same issue here.

On a PC it's timing out before connection, and on the mobile (using data) it's doing the same but with that occasional HTTPS security warning (which ironically just reoccurred when checking this post).

Hi Martin

As part of my investigations I used Virgins diagnostic tests and it found a router problem. They sent a new router which solved the problem. Until this morning.

I got an email as you quoted me on this thread with a link to your post. When I clicked on the link it flashed up a screen saying my request had been denied as the forum server thought it was an attack. The result is I can no longer access using my wifi and have to use my mobile data instead.

Hi Simon

An HTTPS security warning is because there has been some sort of problem with the Website Certificate.
