Quick expert summary and focused diagnostic checklist.

Given ’s report that other sites work and ’s check shows the site itself is reachable from elsewhere, this looks like a name-resolution (DNS) or local filtering issue rather than the site being down. The steps below avoid repeating the earlier suggestions and concentrate on concrete checks that narrow the cause.

Run a name-resolution check and compare the machine’s resolver with a known public resolver:

nslookup illicitencounters.com
nslookup illicitencounters.com 8.8.8.8

Interpretation: if the first command returns no answer or an error while the second returns an IP, the local resolver (or the router/ISP resolver) is failing to resolve that name.

Inspect and clear the local DNS cache (Windows example):

ipconfig /displaydns
ipconfig /flushdns

Also examine the system hosts file for an explicit override. Windows hosts path: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Look for lines that map the hostname to 127.0.0.1 or another address and remove/back up any suspicious entries before saving.

A couple of additional checks that narrow where the block lives: try resolving the same hostname from a different network or device (for example, a phone on cellular data) to tell whether the issue is local to the PC or imposed by the ISP/router. Log into the router’s admin page and review DNS server entries and any domain-blocking/parental-control lists—some routers can silently block individual domains.

If diagnostics show the site resolves via public DNS but not through the normal path, setting a temporary alternate DNS on the PC or router will confirm the resolver as the culprit; if that fixes it, contact the ISP with the test results. Notes: make backups before editing system files and avoid changing security products’ settings without knowing what was altered during prior virus removal (as hinted).

Hello..if you're able to connect to other websites, it hasn't really got any to do with your hardware. I know a software that can reset your IP configuration...but i don't think that will work either..have you tried accessing the page using a different browser....such as netscape or opera?

Member Avatar for bobbyraw

do u have a firewall/internetsecurity suite running on your pc. it might have block the wage base on the key work illicit chack that program and let it give access to the page

Member Avatar for foxylady

Have tried using firefox, still doesnt work. Its all very odd.

Member Avatar for foxylady

Member Avatar for FBI

Try to disable Antivirus program or firewall. then try again... sometimes some aAvs restricts some sites. otherwise i got banned from the site

Hi, you said in your previous post that this problem only started after you removed a virus from your pc, and that you had trouble installing Norton 360 on your machine. It sounds to me that there is a problem with the installation and/or setup of Norton 360. Look, in your icon tray at th ebottome right of your screen for the Norton 360 icon. Put the mouse pointer over the icon. Right click mouse buttone. Disable Norton real time file protect. try accessing your web site. If this works, uninstall Norton 360. hope this helps.

Try going to anonymizer.com,if your service provider is blocking the site,anonymizer can get it for you without the service provider knowing it.
