@clmblxOn my Dell Inspiron, I have only Win 7 Home Basic 64 bit. On my MacBook, I have Macintosh-Windows XP dual boot and Ubuntu 12.04 in virtual box. On my father's Dell Vostro, there is Windows 7 Business 64 bit.
The website works on all the systems except Dell Inspiron.

Got this in notepad:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

ping your website/server from another system note down the ip address..
check if you are able to open that IP on your system.

if yes then make a entry into the "hosts" file you just checked. try adding the below like to the "hosts" file.
31.170.162.143 net63.net
Click to expand...

EDIT: that above address is for your webhost. I used ping to check for IP

Have you blocked your I.P. address in the Control Panel of your Forum/Hosting , in case of static IP ?

BTW , you are using IPV6 ?? Since, I have heard of similiar issues with IPV6 networks.

yep! this should work

AFAIK some software/tweak on your laptop is blocking the website/server IP Address (hosted on a free webhost) from opening.

it still doesn't work. Now the file looks like:

#

#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

@Rishi.:How to know whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6?
@mrintech:I don't think I have any such software installed on my lappy.

you need to hit TAB in between 31.170.162.143 and net63.net, not space

31.170.162.143<TAB>net63.net
Click to expand...

or

31.170.162.143<TAB>educomm.net63.net
Click to expand...

I copy
Code: 
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
in run and then open with notepad. In the run window, it does come that the task will be created with administrator privileges...

Ok do one thing. In hosts file,add this
31.170.162.143 educomm.net63.net
Click to expand...
Clear history in any one browser and then try.


If this does not help,go to Free Proxy List - Public Proxy Servers (IP PORT) - Hide My Ass! choose any one proxy server.Edit proxy settings as I told earlier.Clear cache and try again.

Post results.
