Router randomly blocking websites

It is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

My router is connected to the internet... and I can access the internet... at least a part of it.

However, it blocks some Web sites.

Now, to be clear... these aren't FTP sites... or anything that I think should cause any form of security to block.
For example... a site is the bank where I pay my monthly mortgage on the House. Another is the site of a local University.

I used to be able to get to the two Web sites... .but something changed a few weeks ago.

There is no IP blocked... blocked .or anything, of any kind put in place in the configs. I even went off as to add access to IP from one PC to "allow access to blocked sites" as a test... which doesn't work anymore.

I have reset several times I mean.
I set the router to the factory default.
I reloaded the firmware.
I looked for anything or any reason in this router as to why he could block these websites and I can't find anything.

I'm sure that some are asking if I've hard isolated to the router. Yes, I have.
When my cell is on the home WIFI, it cannot reach these sites.
WIFI is off, my cell to reach cutting sites.
What happens to something else, pass through this router, wired and wireless.
With my ISP, I confirmed that they do not block anything.
I know that they are not the issue anyway because when I bypass the router and go directly to the modem cable, Web sites are blocked is no longer.
In addition, I used an old TP-Link router instead of this router and the sites are not blocked.

For anyone wondering about Chrome, Firefox and IE... I tried all 3.
I deleted the cache and cookies in all 3.

As I said... this problem is very isolated to this router.

I really hope that someone can offer some advice because this thing is about to go out a window. I did not pay so much money for this level of aggravation in my life.

I tried to call Netgear... I have had regard to the request of the series... where I'm supposed to say 'Got It'. And no matter how I said, yelled it... etc... just kept Netgear phone system play this stupid music and telling me to say "had" when ready.
Honestly... If they can't manage a system better than this phone, maybe it's that I should expect from this router.
Yes... I called at least 5 times and got the exact same experience each time.

I tried your suggestion Searay... in fact, I tried several combinations... nothing.

The most important part of the process of change of MAC address, it is you power cycle the modem (router also if you want, but above all the modem). If you do not have this change of MAC address on the router will simply kill your Internet connection. More often as otherwise, that solves the problem of inaccessible sites, which is mostly nothing to do with the router (regardless of brand).

  • Random blocks

    Hi guys,.

    Only 1 week ago, I bought a Compaq Presario CQ62-217AX a local electrical retailer. But the minute I took the laptop out of the box and turned on I had problems with random blocks etc. I checked online for answers with very limited success. So I checked the event viewer and the error message came as:

    \Device\RaidPort0, restore the device, has been published.

    Source: amdsata

    Event ID: 129

    There are several entrances warning that all coincide with the portable gel. When it locked up I can move the mouse and switch between windows but everything stops responding for about 2/3 minutes.

    The overall response, that I had since in line seems to be that change the RAID controller in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE, it should resolve with very little loss of performance. However, I don't see any option in the BIOS to do.

    Everyone has ideas!

    I was getting this error on a HP g62-435dx.  I tried a number of updates to pilot, updated for the new bios... no luck.

    Finally, I changed the sata driver from the amdsata at the ahci driver generic windows 7 and it seems to have solved the problem.

    If you want to try, go to Device Manager-> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers-> Sata Driver.  Select 'Update Driver'-> 'Browse my computer for driver software "->" Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer', then choose it "Standard AHCI 1.0" pilot. "

    Note: I don't have an A / B comparison on the performance of the hard disk between the two drivers, but there is no noticeable change in performance (CrystalDiskMark gives me about 80 MB/s, which, it seems to me, is fine for a disk 5400 RPM).

    In any case, good luck.

  • G50-30 Windows 8 parental does not block websites

    I just bought a laptop Lenovo G50-30 for my child, but after that I set up with parental controls, I discovered that Microsoft's parental control blocks all websites on my child's account. I tried to create multiple children accounts; I tried to create an account for local child; I tried the factory reset. and I tried troubleshooting Microsoft fix. None of them solved the problem. My assumption is that a third-party program is breaking the parental control of Microsoft, but I can't know which program is the cause. I uninstalled Mcafee and disabled other programs to run, but it does not solve the problem. A that someone has experienced this problem and found a solution?

    For someone who is interested, I discovered that McAfee LiveSafe has a parental control feature Family Safety of this Microsoft ignores. Once I enabled it worked fine. I didn't use good McAfee and I had previously uninstalled without solving the problem, so this time I tried to uninstall it and then ran McAfee product removal tool and then parental control of Microsoft has worked well.

    When I say Windows Live Family Satey to block sites of certan for other people on my laptop that is not! Help, please...

    Hi Dylan,.

    One possible way to solve this problem is to refresh the web filtering settings for your child by turning and then by following the steps below:

    1. connect to https://fss.live.com using your Parent account.
    2. click on change settings under the user name of your child.
    3. request for Web filtering, check the Disable web content filtering , and then Save.
    4 tick to enable web filtering you can adjust the slider to different settings.
    5. Save.

    After completing the steps above, remember to refresh the client of parental control to update changes made via the Family Safety website. To update the client, click the icon with the 2 arrows found in the upper right.

    In addition, if you use select custom to allow and block Web site category please make sure that the domain of the Web site is included (.com, .net, or .org). Let us know what happens then.

    Kind regards

  • How to block websites from my children

    my old 13yr looked at playgirl site and other adult sites and I can block them

    You can. It is best to use a parental control device, but you can use a software. Are you operating behind a router? If so, you should check the owner's manual to see if the router has the option of parental control. If you do not use not behind a router, you must be to the security of your computer network. If you work behind a router that is not parental control is a decent software available. I would first recommend that you upgrade to Windows 7 if possible. You can run the Windows 7 compatibility test to see if the computer will run it. The reason why I recommend Windows 7 is because you may need to upgrade anyway since the support for Xp will end soon. Also, the best parental control software is not going to be free. Thus, by the time you buy the software for just a bit more money you can get Windows 7, solve support ending problem with Xp and have parental software as well. A stone effect, two shots.

  • Blocks websites safari and app

    Hi everyone, I will be a booth to sell products and advertising for my website of the company. I was wandering if there were a simple way (perhaps applescript or automator) let safari support only address begins with 'full' but do not any other site, load unless I have insert my password. and since I can't be every second closely on my mac I can do something like this to avoid the launch to a list of applications (such as the calendar or text or e-mail). I still have to work so I don't have to play 15 minutes only to allow an application and then another 15 to turn it off, something quick. and I'll still need access to all my data so I want to avoid using the guest user. I was thinking about using applescript, but I don't know how to make an app that will work and check the status: something like say that safari than if the url does not contain 'mysite' that redirect to "MySite" is easy to do, the problem is I don't know how to hold forever without having to run the script every time perhaps to make the script to run if safari loads a page, or something like that.

    I am in your hands and open to suggestion. I'm fast learning code and know the basic (and something more) AppleScript.

    Any idea?

    Sorry for my English and I hope I'm not asking something obvious.

    The first act of the reason is the following: what exists, exists; which is; and this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the Foundation of which life is adopted. Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not the facts, nor that they are a way to discover. Reason is our only way to grasp the reality; This is our basic tool of survival. We are free to avoid the effort of thinking, to reject the reason, but we are not free to avoid the trouble of the abyss we refuse to see. Misery, iniquity and total destruction are hiding in the shadows outside its full light, where half-truths trap the faithful followers, believers of feeling deeply, followers of selfless. Faith and feelings are the warm marrow of evil. Unlike faith, reason and feelings does not provide no limit to limit any illusion, a whim. They are a virulent poison, giving the anesthetic illusion of moral sanction to every depravity ever hatched. Faith and feelings are the dark light of reason. Reason is the substance of truth itself. The glory is life is entirely enclosed by the reason, through this rule. In dismissing, rejecting reason, we kiss dead. Terry Goodkind

  • Help! Family safety works do not (can still access blocked websites)

    Help, please! I went again and again with every imaginable facility for months and I still can't parental parental controls to work. Each parameter indicates that it is on and yet my 5 year old son can go to any Web site he wants, including ones I have on the red list and those of work I did not on the green list, even if I set it to "allow only. Everything that happens is a small pop box up in the lower right corner that says something like: "this content is blocked, but what good is it? Nothing is blocked! He can always go to the site, he can still play the game that I don't want him to play. I don't understand.

    I uninstalled everything and reinstalled, since this seems to be the answer to others who have the same problem, but it is the occurrence of the thing. I really need help here.

    Hello winter11yz,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum. We know it can be alarming when you set up parental controls to block Web sites, but does not have its functions. We also appreciate that you did some troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem. For this survey, please ensure that you update the customer of parental control Filter. Visit the site below for instructions:

    Update the family safety filters

    The filter can take a few hours to update in some cases, so it is advised that you give a day and try again, and then we do know.

    Thank you.

  • Want to block websites to individual users on DNS

    Hi all

    I need to block certain Web sites to certain users within my company. I wish that these restrictions affect their accounts connection rather than their individual workstations. Is there a way I can use the group policy on the server editor for that to happen at all?

    I'm not too skillful in this sort of thing, so any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Fusion 5.03 with Windows 8 comments random blocks "HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED".

    Hi all

    For about half of an anneei run a guest Windows 8 Pro (pardon my french) 8 of Parallels Desktop. Before that, I've been using Parallels Desktop win Windows 7 for a long time without any problem, with Windows 8, I had a lot of problems. Three times after a reboot the VM would not start, complaining of the alteration of the virtual disk. This could not be corrected, not even with the help of Parallels support so I was forced to return to the virtual machine backups.

    After the last time that happened I decided to give Fusion a try to see if it is more stable. I have used it for two weeks now and so far am very happy. One thing bothers me however, and that is that, at apparently random times (once every few days), Windows crashes with a blue screen saying "HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED". Fortunately restart the virtual machine works in these cases so nothing major is lost, but this isn't rock solid performance I was hoping.

    A piece of information that might be relevant (but perhaps is a Kipper), that is I run the virtual machine with the (not support put in "Hyper-V" as type of client operating system . I need this because I want to use the VM for Windows Phone development requiring Hyper-v for the emulator. This could be a reason for the accidents? If so, is it recommended that I have spend the type of operating system on Hyper-V only when I actually use the Windows Phone emulator? Everyone knows comparable questions?


    I'd love to hear any comments and suggestions. My trial period is coming to an end and I only had to spend money buying the merger if I can count on her to be stable.

    The Macbook Pro 15-inch, early 2011

    Intelligence of Windows is changes to the Windows operating system when she realizes that it is running in a virtual machine.  They are provided by Microsoft and may or may not be supported by the hypervisor host.  An example for Windows 8 would be the relaxation of the dog timer to guard used to detect a CPU has locked up.  If Windows knows it is running in a virtual machine, it is not expected a response as fast as it does in the physical world.

    Unfortunately, if we try to use any intelligence, Hyper-V will recognize that he is running in a virtual machine and will refuse to start.  As long as Microsoft supports this position, do not expect Hyper-V to be supported as a guest operating system.

    It is not really "safe" to use the Hyper-V guest OS type.  I would say using a virtual machine throw for your Windows Phone development and store all your important data out of the virtual machine.
