HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivity info
HTTP: Successfully connected to [broken link removed]
HTTPS: Successfully connected to [broken link removed]
FTP (Active): Successfully connected to ftp://ftp.microsoft.com (ftp.microsoft.com)
can't/won't access certain websites
But I've checked those settings, too... and in any case none of the sites affected are HTTPS.Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
What you can try:
- You are not connected to the Internet.
- The website is encountering problems.
- There might be a typing error in the address.

What happens when you use nslookup to resolve www.mediawrite.ie. Does your router log give any clues as to what's going on? Could you also try tracert www.mediawrite.ie or tracert 217.64.113.15 and see what it says?OK, I tried that, and it all works fine in the DOS command shell (for both www.mediawrite.com and www.mediawrite.ie), and while I can see www.mediawrite.com fine in IE7 (it's registered with Network Solutions and under construction, right?), I still can't see either www.mediawrite.ie or — or any of the other sites I mentioned in my first post...
I get:What happens when you use nslookup to resolve www.mediawrite.ie?
Exactly the same.Does your router log give any clues as to what's going on? Could you also try tracert www.mediawrite.ie or tracert 217.64.113.15 and see what it says?
Curiouser and curiouser...
Depends on your router. Normally connecting a web browser to http://192.168.1.1 or whatever its IP address is will give you the admin control panel and there should be some logging option available.Where/how should I check the router logs?

Is there no "advanced" option in the router configuration? Logging is normally under that if available at all.Hmmm... can't see anything there about logging, but the system status shows as follows:
[btw it's a BT broadband line with a Zyxel Prestige 600-series router, connected with the ethernet cable rather than USB...]
