Can't access some sites when using Aiport Express, why?

I'm using Windows 7 and my router is a wireless Apple Airport Express that is approximately two years old. Suddenly I can't access some sites (for example www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se, or www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk, some streamed tv-shows on svtplay.se, and a number of other random sites) when connecting to internet with my router. It worked good until recently and I'm fairly sure this problem emerged when my ISP upgraded from 10/10mbit to 100/10mbit speed. Most other sites like facebook and google works fine.
When using my network cable to connect to internet everything works fine and I can access these sites.
Firmware is current and I've tried reseting the router to factory defaults.
Tried different browsers, and I can't ping the "blocked" sites either. Tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se starts with 10.0.0.1 and continues through a number of long addresses until it says timeout. The last working address before timeout was sth-tcy-ipcore01-ge-0-2-0.neq.dgcsystems.net [83.241.252.13], if it matters. Tracert www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk also eventually gives me a timeout.
When the network cable is plugged in, I still get timeout on tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se even though I can access the site in Chrome. Weird. www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk doesn't give me a tracert timeout when the cable is plugged in, and I can access the site as usual.
I've tried changing DNS servers to use opendns servers instead, but to no use.
I've tried pinging these two sites with a lower MTU packet size (with this method: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista- or-windows-7/), but still can't access them through ping...
I don't know what to do anymore.... any suggestions???
Thanks

Hi Punice
first try to disable JavaScript from : Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content panel > '''UNcheck''' Enable JavaScript.
if the above does not help check with a few malware/virus scan programs for virus. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure to update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
    * Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Firefox can not access some sites that use identification system type "captcha." As you enter characters returns error response. With IE it does not.

    My desktop using Win 7 Ultimate. On every page that gives error in entering the captcha characters, if you use Internet Explorer I get by with success.

    hello edalsi, maybe one of your addons is interfering here - can you try launching firefox in safemode once and see if the problem is occurring there too...

  • Can't access some sites on DSL - Westell 37W or Verizon connection issue?

    I've been experiencing a problem with Verizon's DSL service for the last few days. I have a brand new Dell Dimension with Windows XP hooked up a Westell 327W router (hard - wired) and other laptops running both Vista and XP. All of a sudden, all the users on the same network can't access certain sites. I initially uninstalled AVG on my computer thinking that may have something to do with blocking these websites (aa.com, orbitz.com), and then I realized that some of the laptops don't have any anti-virus programs and still have the same problem. The only thing in common is that they run on the same network off of the same router. Which is when I called Verizon, only to hear from them that they don't block websites, and that the problem is something related to the computer. When I tried explaining that other users also have the same problem (and it is only within the last 5 days), they still won't accept that something is wrong with the router/DSL connection. I checked the firewall settings for the router and they are turned off. Can someone please help me? Am I wrong in assuming that the problem is on Verizon's side?

    I appear to be having the same problem (erratic browser connections) as you guys. I was speaking with a tech support person last night who after having me replace Internet Explorer with Firefox (and still having the same issues) told me that the problem was with my computer. I reside in North Jersey as well. This morning, while riding to work I was speaking with a bus-mate and told him about my internet problem. He lives a few blocks away and told me that he has been experiencing the same thing for about a week and that he knows of another person with the same issue. So it appears to me that it’s some sort of Verizon problem. I tried to recap things and send them an e:mail a little earlier, but I think it fell on deaf eyes. I will try to call them later this evening and will report back to this forum tomorrow. 

  • Can't access some sites over WIFI (app store and more)

    HI,
    Not sure really where I can post this, but hoping someone will have a lead as it's very frustrating.
    I have a belkin N router, and for some reason over wifi some sites do not work. I cannot access the Appstore on 2 iphones, I get error message that can't connect. the weird thing is that my ipad has never had problems with this and always connects to app store without problems.
    I tried resetting my router and disabling security, still doesn't help.
    I'm at a lost, any help greatly appreciated.
    Latest firmware installed. iPhone 4 and 5 have the probelm as does my MBP which has problems connecting to some sites.

    Try resetting Safari, safari under safari menu, empty Chache. Safari preferences>privacy, remove all website data.  Also safari prefernces>security>unclick enable Java, leave Java script clikced. You can have corrupted cookies(they will re-create) Hope this helps.

  • Can't access itunes library when using iphoto slideshow

    When using iphoto slideshow and click on music, iphoto shows my itunes library but not the list of songs. When I click on library it only plays the first song on my list. I can't change to other songs.
    I have the latest software for itunes, iphoto and quick time. Can anyone help me.
    Thanks, Kathy

    Sandy
    Doesn't play songs purchased on iTunes either,
    probably because of the copyright infringement
    issues.
    It does. You'll need the latest version of iTunes
    and the latest version of Quicktime for this
    to work.
    Regards
    TD
    Gotcha! It's the QT holding me up them. I have QT Pro and I don't want to update because then I have to PAY again for the Pro part. I learned that the hard way. What a rip off on their part for the users of their Pro version.

  • Safari can't access some sites

    My husband's work has a website they need to access to get info about the company. We only have my iMac at home, and I think the site is mainly compatible with Internet Explorer, which of course is not available to Macs anymore, or at least I know it doesn't work on mine (won't even open). Is there any way Safari can get a plug in or something to help him access his website? We keep getting the 404 error _file not found , or page not found.
    The answer is probably no, which he is really upset about~why should he have to go buy a second computer just to access a work site, but maybe somewhere here has encountered a solution.
    Thanks!
    Susan

    It sounds like this particular website has some issues.
    But here's something that is sometimes useful: You can get a Developer's "Debug" menu to appear in Safari, and under this menu is an option to select "User Agent." This allows Safari to present itself as a different browser type -- including MS IE 6.0 for Windows. Of course, Safari is not really IE, and this won't make it act like IE, but if a server is rejecting your requests simply because of the browser it thinks you're using, then this might work.
    Here's how to get the Debug menu to show: Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app. At the prompt, type exactly the following...
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
    The next time you launch Safari, a Debug menu will appear to the right of the Help menu. If you decide you want to hide this menu in the future, open Terminal and type the same command with a zero at the end instead of a one...
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0
    Note: If you change the User Agent, then in order to restore the default of "Automatically Chosen," you must close Safari and reopen it. (For additional information about this feature, see Apple Developer - Safari FAQ.)

  • Latest version of Firefox (version 32) can't access web sites. Using Windows 8.1 Compatibility problems?

    Firefox automatically updates to the latest version which is now version 32. I get the following error message: "Firefox can't find the server at us.data.toolbar.yahoo.com" Preceded by "Sever Not Found" This happens on any web site I try to access. Reloading version 31 Firefox works fine, but then it will update itself again.
    Windows 8.1 is my operating system.

    The latest Release is Firefox '''31.0''' as the only way you would get updated to the current Beta build which is Firefox 32.0'''b2''' (b2 = Beta 2 as there can be say six to twelve Betas) build is if you were on the Beta channel due to having installed a Beta build and continued using it since. If the Firefox 31.0 you installed is updating to 32.0b2 then the 31.0 you installed was a Beta build (make sure the file name did not have say 31.0'''b'''# as there were nine Betas) and not the Firefox '''31.0''' Release say from mozilla.org or https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    The typical reason for a new version (on Windows) not being able to connect after a new major version Firefox update or install is usually due to a software Firewall blocking the new .exe yet it may stll have the previous version allowed.

  • Spybot causes firefox to give errors that it can't access some sites, even though other browsers still can; I reported the error to you before I knew.

    Just letting you know I found the problem. I did not see that that fix was already reported anywhere.

    Using the Firefox immunize with Spybot can cause problems. It dumps hundreds of block items into the permissions and really slows things down.

  • How can I create an ftp site when using Airport Express?

    I am very new to computers and have never used a Mac before. I'd like to create an FTP connection with a friend in another city to get large files transfered. I've followed the instructions in the Sharing pane but my friend still isn't able to get through. I'm assuming it's because there is a firewall in the Airport express and I need to create a port to get the files through. Can anyone help with this? I seem to be having trouble creating an address that works. I also seem to have a non-static IP address since it changes each time I check it.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

  • I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc.

    I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc.  Who have ever found this problem,
    pls. help.
    The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

    Hi,
    According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
    Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
    If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
    Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
    Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

    In addition, as this issue is related to project server, I suggest you create a new thread on project server, more experts will assist you:

  • Can't access some websites using time capsule

    Everything has been working just fine with my time capsule and my imac and just today I couldn't access some websites for some reason. I tried many other sites including this one and can get to them no problem. I have been through all of the airport settings and trouble shooting and can't find any problems, also the other 2 computers and my blackberry can't access some of the same sites either, I am stumped. Does anyone out there have any idea whats going on? Thanks for your help!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Suggest that you contact your ISP. It sounds like their DNS server is overloaded at the moment, but also unlikely that they will ever admit it.
    It wouldn't hurt to power cycle your complete network as well. Just power everything down, order is not important.
    Start the modem first and let it run a few minutes by itself.
    Then start the next device connected to the modem, probably your Time Capsule, and let it run a few minutes.
    Then start your computers and devices one by one the same way.

  • Can't access some secure sites through proxy?

    can't access some secure sites through proxy server on osx it just keeps going local authority couldn't be contacted, i had the same problem with parental controls, but now that is off and its still doing it, is there a setting or something i need to enable?

    In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
    It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
    I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
    I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?
