Free MMORPG Forums

Couldn't find a better suited forum than this one.

I'm currently 100% stumped by an issue involving a game called Everquest Online Adventures: Frontiers for the Ps2. It also involves my computer. I'll make it as simple as possible to describe.

Randomly my computer disables my ability to go to certain websites, in particular any search involving EQOA, as well as sites such as facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. Not only does it not let me on, it doesn't give a block page, or state why I am not able to reach the sites from my computer. It takes me to a "website cannot be found" page, and does this on all the computers in the house.

At the same time, I am unable to play the online game EQOA because while my computer randomly blocks the eqoa forums and sites, it also disables me from correctly loading updates from eqoa, but has no problem reaching the internet.

I've checked everything, rechecked, then asked a more experienced person to check again. Firewall, internet options, EVERYTHING is as it should be. We're stumped, and have no idea what could be causing this.

Any tips?

Try checking your router settings; it could be blocking access to those websites at certain times of the day? No idea why it would be set to do that, but it can be done.

Also, sup big Z? Haven't talked to you in a while. Nice to see it around again.
