Unable to surf to any BBC websites.

Lst night, about 6pm I discovered I can't surf to any BBC websites. So BBc iplayer, any radio, news, etc sites all produce a "problem loading page" And tells me that the "The connection was reset". I get this only on BBC sites, and haven't been able to find any other sites that it does this to me.
Can anyone help? I haven't changed anything, and I'd been using BBC sites earlier that day with no problem.

Re: Unable to surf to any BBC websites.

As a first check can you open a Command window and type in tracert bbc.co.uk
This is what I get
Tracing route to bbc.co.uk [212.58.241.131]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
 1     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.0.1
 2    38 ms    38 ms    38 ms  lo0-central3.ptn-ag01.plus.net [195.166.128.204]
 3    37 ms    37 ms    38 ms  gi2-18-131.ptn-gw01.plus.net [84.92.3.153]
 4   240 ms   235 ms   213 ms  po4.ptn-gw02.plus.net [212.159.1.139]
 5    38 ms    38 ms    37 ms  po6.thn-gw1.plus.net [212.159.1.136]

 9    38 ms    37 ms    38 ms  virtual-vip-231.thdo.bbc.co.uk [212.58.241.131]

Trace complete.
Note - the high hop in step 4 is probably because my line errors have gone mad for an unknown reason

Try rebooting PC AND router and see if the problem remains. Sometimes routers go funny and stop certain pages / IPs from working.

Re: Unable to surf to any BBC websites.

Hi, It seems to have resolved itself. On the 5th time rebooting pc and router it allows me to view the site now.
I guess It just was oneof those things, very annoying though!
