Internet blocking access to certain websites and M...

I had BT Infinity installed about 3 weeks ago and since then iMessage on my iPod has worked at random times, getting a 'Message Could Not Be Delivered' which was annoying, but as of today I can't use Windows Live Messenger on either my iPod or Laptop, the same goes for visiting hotmail.com and probably other websites that I'm yet to notice.
I'm assuming it has to be something wrong with the hub otherwise I wouldn't get the same problem with both my Laptop and iPod. The only thing I found online was that it could be something to do with the Hub's MTU settings but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them and that doesn't seem like it would be the case anyway.
Changed wireless channels, factory resetting the hub and everything I can think of.

  • Need software to block access to certain websites at night

    OK. I'm going to admit it. I've got a shopping compulsion that's somewhat out of control when I get tired at night.
    Anyone have suggestions for software or another method to block access, ideally to just forms, or just certain websites, between certain times? I know if I'm the admin I'd be able to get around it, but it would help stop me from buying when I'm not awake enough to make good decisions.
    I'm thinking a children's filter would work, but none of them seem to go more specific than turning off the internet entirely between certain times, and that's a bit too broad. In any case, I'm pretty sure I could script just turning off the Airport link for a time if that's what I really wanted.
    Any suggestions for scripting the Airport config or other site lookup files (the ones that say ebay.com -> this address), perhaps? That would keep me from getting on with the iPhone too.
    Thanks, and
    Aym

    Maybe I just need to make my own scripts... I know if I'm the admin I'd be able to get around it, but it would help...
    You might try the script below. It works by looping through a predefined list of text items, comparing each item to the URL of the frontmost Safari document. When a match is found, the frontmost document is replaced by a blank page. A dialog then appears informing you that you've attempted to reach a prohibited web site.
    The script below should be copied and pasted into your AppleScript Script Editor. From the Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application. Be sure to check Stay Open under Options. Once saved, the script can be launched from the dock or desktop, or launched as part of a repeating iCal event, with iCal's alarm feature set to open the script file at a certain time each day. Once running, the script can be stopped at any time by selecting its docked icon and choosing Quit from the menu.
    +The script:+
    *property prohibited_list : {"ebay.com", "amazon.com", "shopping.yahoo.com"} --> add or remove items as desired*
    *on idle*
    *tell application "System Events"*
    *if exists application process "Safari" then*
    try
    *tell application "Safari"*
    *set x to URL of front document*
    *set y to every character of x as text*
    *repeat with an_item in prohibited_list*
    *if an_item is in y then*
    *set the URL of front document to ""*
    *tell application "System Events"*
    activate
    *display dialog "You have attempted to access a prohibited web site." with icon stop buttons ("OK") default button 1 giving up after 10*
    *end tell*
    *tell application "Safari" to activate*
    *end if*
    *end repeat*
    *end tell*
    *end try*
    *end if*
    *end tell*
    *return 5*
    *end idle*
    Good luck.
    +The script was tested in Mac OS 10.4.11. Leopard and Snow Leopard users' results may vary.+

  • New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

    New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

    Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

    There is in fact no native ability in iOS to block specific web sites. All you can do is turn off Safari completely.
    As the others have suggested, either those sites are not compatible with the browser in iOS (being based on Flash or Java, or using Microsoft-proprietary components that work only in Internet Explorer, for instance), or your Internet connection is blocking the sites.
    Regards.

  • I cannot open a website that I could open yesterday. I used a different computer to access the same website, and it worked. How do I fix my computer?

    I cannot open a website that I could open yesterday. I used a different computer to access the same website, and it worked. How do I fix my computer?

    What happens when you try to access the site? Can you access it from a different computer on the same network? Your profile says you have a Mac Pro, but you posted in the MacBook Pro area. If you have a MacBook Pro, can you access the site from another network, such as a public hotspot?

  • Help blocking certain website and IP on a SG 300-20 Small Business Switch

    Hi,
    I like to block certain IP and website on the SG 300-20.
    Being new to Cisco Small Business switch I she tried with no positive result. Could someone give me some steps or maybe direct me where I can find a step by step resource.
    Thank you

    Hello, 
    Thank you for contacting us for support with your device.
    Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not possible with any Small Business switch.
    It is true that this switch can be used in layer 3 and it will be able to route your traffic on the inside of the network, but it will not be able to route your traffic to the Internet as it doesn't do any NATting.
    If you need to block any websites you will need to configure it on your router or firewall.
    Just to be completely clear, this switch won't be able to block any websites.
    I hope this was helpful

  • Unable to access certain websites and game servers when using E1500

    I've been having a strange intermitent problem with my E1500 wireless router.  When we first bought and installed it everything was working well with no known problems.  After several months no one using the router was able to access certain websites as well as a game server that we play on.  No one had made any changes to the router settings and I assumed at first that it was an ISP problem.  After talking with our ISP tech support they finally suggested plugging my PC directly into the modem rather then the router.  I did and found that the websites and servers that previously wouldn't connect while using the router were now reachable.  As I said not myself or anyone else had made any changes to the router settings since installation.  I decided that just in case someone unauthorized had made changes to simply revert the router to factory settings and reinstall the software.  After doing this I found that I could again reach the websites and servers that I previously could not.  So time went on with no problems until a few months later when the same websites and servers were again unreachable by anyone on our router.  I again reset the router to factory settings and changed passwords as a precaution, but this time the websites and servers were unreachable even though I had just reset the router.  I'm a little confounded as to what could possibly be causing this.  I have had family and friends who live elsewhere use the websites and servers during all of my troubles, so I'm certain that they were not simply down.  I'd greatly appreciate any and all help. 
    A few of the places that are unreachable to me are as follows:
    http://wiki.project1999.org
    http://www.project1999.org
    http://chaoslife.findchaos.com

    Perhaps, you could flash or update the firmware to the latest. Reset and reconfigure the router. You can download firmware here http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E1500.

  • Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

    I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Using .htaccess file to block access from certain networks

    Does anybody have any tips on getting a .htaccess file to work to block access to my Web Access server from certain network ranges on SuSE 10 SP3 with GW 8.0.2.
    It does seem like the file does anything? With Web Access I'm not exactly sure where to put the file. I used to accomplish this using iptables, but I was seeing if I could do the same with .htaccess.
    Thanks!

    You can block a range with the .htaccess file, for example by defining the range as
    Code:
    order allow,deny
    deny from 10.0.
    allow from all
    ...that would block all 10.0.0.0 upto 10.0.255.255 addresses
    You cannot use this file in tomcat, so useless I think... but as Apache is used as frontend for the tomcat webacc application and you might be able to edit the gw conf apache files to include the range denies (which by default can be found in /etc/opt/novell/groupwise/webaccess/gw.conf).
    Maybe this thread might help as there are some examples in howto include denies in the .conf files.
    Deny IP Ranges in httpd.conf Apache Web Server forum at WebmasterWorld
    Do make a backup of you current gw.conf in case it blows up :)

  • Is there parental controls you can place on this router to not allow activity on certain websites and times?  I know that the Netgear router does this.er

    Is it possible to restrict what sites(FB etc.)are accessed through this router and times certain devices can be allowed wifi access?

    Not directly on the router but you can setup parental controls through external/3rd party services.  For example OpenDNS allows you to setup parental controls which are managed from their site and a separate account.  Once you have OpenDNS configured you can tell your 4G LTE router and personal devices to use it as their main DNS service.
