Certain websites not working

I havent changed anything on my PC but I notice that several websites arent working (they simply dont load, no error message). Littlewoods.co.uk and Cafe World are amongst some of them.

I'd usually put this down to an anti-virus problem but these sites dont work on either the PC or the laptop (which run different AV software). Even when the router is on but not the PC the laptop wont load these sites so its not a case of the PC blocking anything as its not even switched on!

Google shut down on me last night. I left it to work on today, switched on & all well? Just a blip.....webmasters at work?

Might sound really dumb of me but are you sure your web addresses are OK?

Littlewoods.co.uk doen't exist - it might be Littlewoods.com

Hi puternut. Yes, you're right it is .com. I tried .co.uk and it said it was redirecting to .com so both domain names point to the one URL.

Phoned up AOL support and got it fixed within minutes. I had to go into the router setting and change the MTU value (whatever that it) Not sure why it suddenly stopped working as I donf fiddle around with stuff like that. As the AOL guy was very quick to solve the problem I'm wondering if its something AOL has changed and they are having lots of calls about.
