like what the heading says.
i can sign into ym from other wifi hotspots but not from my house!i cant even go to the ym download site- however i can go to yahoo.com.
i have turned off/reset the router and modem but to the same effect.
i did not update or change anything in the router and the only thing i did recently was a windows update kb2607712 which has to do with some certificate revocation.
could this update have caused this? what can i do to get ym funtionality back.
from the sights i regularly surf it seems like ym is the only one with issues.
any help would be appreciated
-
Could I have had a bad certificate or something like that?
-
As a test try turninig off the firewall on your router, X3lectric's post gave me this idea. NOt sure about certs..
-
i used a vpn and i was able to get into ym!
so does that mean my isp is blobking specific ports? -
clear your browser caches.......
-
it can be just simple DNS issues at the ISP. I experienced similar things(hotmail) a few days back. By manually use google's 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server, I had no problem. May give it a try.
-
I'll try shifting the router's dns to see if it makes a difference -
i chenged my routers dns to opendns and can now connect. its just wierd that my isp's dns would block something like ym and the ym download site.
-
Are you using basic or VIP from here?
OpenDNS > OpenDNS at Home I have a load of sites that do not work unless I turn off my router's bulitin firewall. Thanks J -
im using basic, and i would not turn off my router's firewall for security reasons
-
I wouldn't do it either but you can do a test without it. Not very likely to be the cause but still another possibility would be rulled out.
-
-
darnit i cant connect again! whats happening here?
-
why would one want to use something like opendns rather than simple 8.8.8.8 run by google ?
-
-
Of course, this may be limited to NA and it can be slow if it is not accessed from within NA. -
Now I'm thinking the opposite after your reply? Many people in Asia may not be so aware of this service yet and I may indeed get better results if they have Asian region optimized servers.
Will try shortly
suddenly cant sign in to ym from my house
