Hi there, Im having a problem getting onto one particular website which I never had a problem with before. I tried deactivating the Firewall but it didn't work. That's as far as my Techy skills go! If answering my question, could you please make it as easy (I mean as if I'm 5 yrs old) to understand as possible as I genuinely have very limited knowledge of computers! The website is www.ch131.com I have Windows 7 Thanks in advance!

Hello Odds55, That domain does not appear to exist. According to NSLOOKUP (a tool used to query DNS), there is no host or alais record established for www.ch131.com. There aren't even any DNS servers that host this domain. > www.ch131.com Server: localDNS Address: 192.168.10.254 *** launchmodem can't find www.ch131.com: Server failed > set typ=ns > ch131.com Server: localDNS Address: 192.168.10.254 *** localDNS can't find ch131.com: Server failed >Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

I suspect they've been shut down as there was much controversy over whether they legally had the right to stream the TV shows. Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

Still down, and I check with the DNS and its been yanked. Vote if answered or helpful, I am running for Office (joke)! IT/Developer, Windows/Linux/Mainframe Need a some parts finish the new server, see the site for remaining items needed

As I described above, the Name Servers (DNS servers) for this domain name are no longer being resolved by the .com Name Servers. Otherwise, the set type=NS command in NSLOOKUP would have provided the host names and IPs for the DNS servers hosting the ch131.com zone. So for all intent purposes, this domain name is unresolveable, even if the ch131.com DNS servers are up and running. You cannot get to this domain unless the top level name servers provide the referral. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.
