Despite having pretty much the whole web at my fingertips, every so often I get the 'Internet Explorer cannot display webpage' screen
I've tried using other browsers, system restore, cleared cookies, cleared cache, powered modem off and on again, checked for viruses and spyware ..yatta yatta. The same error screen appears for these specific websites.
The DNS resolve perfectly into IP addresses but, using one site as an example, when I ping it - it times out and all 4 packets are lost. When I traceroute the site, it gets stuck on the 14th hop and times out. The problem appears to be with a network in the Czech republic called
http://www.masterinter.net. It looks to me as though the machines in masterinter.net are taking up the data packets from my computer and trashing them.
Does anyone know of any routing or bogon filtering issues with the IP addresses being doled out by VM (my IP address begins with 82.23.x.x)?
Would changing my IP address solve the problem? (I have seen
Chris W's and
eth01's cunning methodologies - all thanks to them.
Would using a proxy server in my LAN settings solve the problem? If so can anyone point me in the direction of a
working VM proxy server? (I'm based in London).
Many thanks
