I'm the first to admit I'm new at this but I have tried to read a lot of the postings here before looking like a complete numpty!
I have requested the trial of PAYH, but on accessing https://plesk-host06.plus.net:8443 I receive a "Internet Explorer cannot open the webpage" error. I have diabled my Finjan web-proxy and am running straight through a Watchguard firewall but I am getting into other sites without problems. Is this because the particular pc I am at today is not connected using PlusNet as my ISP? If not, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I have already tried deleting cookies relating to PlusNet and the community forums.
Many thanks,
Gavin

I've tried relaxing the firewall rules as much as I can but still no joy - however I have got someone else who is on a plusnet account to try it and they had no problem. Therefore this is definately a problem with my connection but I don't know what else to try and unfortunately my current connection is the one I will be working from on this project

I like your thinking! The results got as far as:
Tracing route to plesk-host06.plus.net [212.56.83.200]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.0.15.254
...

8 * * * Request timed out.
9 * * * Request timed out.
10 * * * Request timed out.

12 * * * Request timed out.
Annoying to see it so close and yet so far!

Plesk uses Port 8443 and many office networks have this blocked as it is not a commonly used Port.
Can you check to see if you have this Port open

Thanks for the suggestion - I have opened ports 80, 443 and 8443 for https://plesk-host06.plus.net (212.56.83.200) and yet to no avail. My only other thought is if the login portal references any other addresses that I may need to allow through?
