Every since I got my new computer, running windows 7, firefox will not allow me to see my own domains. If I unplug Netgar and plug directly into the Wild Blue modem, I can see them with IE or Chrome - but still not with Firefox.

My Old computer, running XP can see my domains via the Netgear router. Computers running Vista cannot

GoDaddy is my host.

Hi cor-el, Thanks for the reply. I tried those things with no result. Then I followed the link you sent and found something that MIGHT be the answer if I can find someone to show me how to "send a ping" and "define the subnetmask."

I have no idea what a subnetmask is, let alone how to define it!

But I do feel that the problem has some connection to the router. My old computer has one IP address, while the 3 that won't work all share a different one.

It would really help if I spoke "compuetreze," but I don't.

Thanks again, Marte

Can you ping those sites, either via URL or the IP or do a nslookup?

Hi again cor-el. I don't know if I can or not. I wrote a friend and I'm hoping he'll get back to me and tell me what "ping" means and how to do it.

You can open a Console (cmd.exe) window and type ping www.copybymarte.com at the prompt.
