Default LS1tech.com doesn't like my office computer

For what ever reason my computer at work doesnt like LS1tech.com. Every time I try to connect to it just keeps searching and never finds the page. I can get on other car message boards but not my favorite. . Are systems run Windows 2000(we have a cheap company). Could it be a firewall or something in the internet settings? I can get on pretty much any website including porno sites(accidental) .

Have you ever been able to access this site from work? If so, you may have been spending too much time on here so they revoked your priviledges.

Try going directly to the forums... https://ls1tech.com/forums ... Your browser or proxy server might be hanging on the redirect.

If they are blocking the site and your company is as cheap as you say, I'm sure we can find an easy way around the "rules"

I work in IT and sometimes we go through the squid reports to see who is spending a LOT of time on certain sites and we'll block access to those specific sites...so that's probably what happened if you could get on the site before. I, however have installed a gateway on my PC at work so no need to worry about going through a proxy server .

That happened to me with the "other site". That's why I came here.

Try the IP address, when we used to filter people we'd just put the DNS name of the domain and not the IP itself

http://64.246.60.27

Cheers.

Sure thing! All we had to do was write a batch file that is run (on computers with users who have administrative rights) which allows us to basically gain access without using the proxy server.

I have the opposite problem. I get here no problem at work but at home I can't login. I'll put in my known good username and password and it tells me password invalid. Pisses me off too because sometimes on a weekend I'll want to respond to someone here and can't because they won't let me login to gain posting privliges.

Can't help you there dude...maybe one of the moderators may have an idea. I hate to ask, but you're absolutely sure it's not something stupid like having the caps lock on or something right?

Ill have to try those two links. I have never been able to get on LS1tech.com from my work computer so I dont think they blocked it. Believe me our IT guy took the short bus to class, it took him a month to install the last Windows 2000 Patch.
