Connecting to bedlington.co.uk - welcome is throwing an error

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

Is it just me or is anyone else getting this message displayed when they connect to the group 'Sign In' page?

Thanks  - Fixed

Can anyone tell me how to overcome my new laptop blocking this forum? Only way I can access the website is by turning off the firewall.  All other websites are available with firewall switched on.

John - when attempting to connect does it return a message to the laptop?  Can't see me solving your problem but knowing what the response from your attempted connection -  Did you install security software or do you just use the laptops built in Firewall?

I installed Mcfee Alan and nothing else is a problem, only this website

 

[Andy Millne]

That's odd. Are the settings set quite restrictive to block forum/bulletin boards? McAfee doesn't seem to have any issues with the site in general.

[Andy Millne]

On further investigation it looks like they have an issue with the IP address which is shared with other web sites so it's possible there is another objectionable one. I have contacted McAfee for a review/more info.

I have the same problem on both my reformatted Macbook pro (Safari) and my newish Acer (Windows) I changed to Google Chrome on both and can now get the Bedlington website.

@John Fox (foxy) - lets hope Andy's question with McAfee gets you to a solution.🙂

Like Andy my next question (even though I have never used McAfee) would have been on the lines of - 'What 'Settings', if any, are set within the security software'  and that would have been followed by - 'Try changing the settings'😏 

Can't offer any other help😇

Have you tried twiddling the hoojackapivvy on the whotsit? Failing that a good old slap to the thingamyjig might do the trick! No need to thank me lads.

I  usually tried that on a Thursday night after departing the Red Lion about 11.45 pm and sometimes it worked, however Boris stopped all that a few months back so now it's all down to Andy to sort out!

Feels like most times these days - must get out for some fresh air and twiddle.

Switching subjects, again, but sticking to cerebrally challenged, my mind keeps telling me that I read somewhere (and I can't find that writing 😲) that our Dr trotter had a brother (also a doc?) that lived near Scotland Gate.

But I could just be challenging myself and desperate to help Heather W.

Gone for a lie down and a cuppa.

Now, I'm not one for taking credit where credit isn't due BUT did you notice how Andy had fixed it within a few minutes of my advice/suggestion?

I'll respond to that on Heather's topic.

It's unblocked at McAfee so there may be a local cache that needs updating on your computer. Try again in a few hours. To workaround you can whitelist the 31.193.136.176 IP

1. Open McAfee.
2. Click Web and Email Protection or click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Firewall, scroll down, and then click Net Guard.
4. Select the IP Address listed for the site that you want to access.
   
   NOTE: To identify the IP address by name, you need to use a DNS or IP address lookup tool.
    
5. Click Edit, and then change Block to Allow.
6. Click Save or Apply.
