Unable To Access Ab On Any Browser

[barry1010]

On my pc. Other sites also have the 'this site can't be reached' but some sites are fine, such as GMail and Facebook

I have tried restarting browsers and PC. Tried connecting to mobile hotspot via my phone, ethernet and WiFi.

No problems accessing sites on phone.

I have tried Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Slimjet, Brave.

What the ecky peck is going on?

your firewall settings ??

[barry1010]

Haven't changed anything but will check
No, no difference with firewalls off.
I've got a lot to do in the next hour and this is making it impossible

[murraymints]

hmm.. where's Chris when you need him ?

[murraymints]

google AB and try to sign in via link ?

[barry1010]

I've closed the tabs individually and the browser to open AB and the other sites afresh and just get 'this site can't be reached'.

Have you tried clearing your browsers cache?

Cleared the cache on every browser

Switched off tracking prevention and restarted all browser, still won't connect

[murraymints]

[murraymints]

power down and restart ? obvious I know but may be that simple

Are you getting an error number Barry? Plus have you tried switching off the router(and unplugging it for at least a minute) then setting it upp again. A pain I know. Strange that it is only this site mind. Perhaps there is a dns server glitch somewhere in the set up. It is possible to clear your dns cache as well as your browser cach.

This may be worth a quick read Barry. I know you know how to do these things but some times other ideas help.

Don't know what's happened but all seems good now. Bizarre. Just in time.
Thanks all for the suggestions. Fingers crossed I will get my work done
