My computer forbids me from accessing the Halfords website! Maybe it's just protecting me from something but yank on it I'm a big boy and can decide for myself!

These are Mr Gates informed ideas of what might be happening:

You are not connected to the Internet. (********!)
The website is encountering problems. (But not from my work computer?)
There might be a typing error in the address (So why don't links work?)

Please and thank you :notworthy:

(could just be that the website is offline if all others work)

Try clicking this > http://195.167.184.225 (that's the IP address of Halfords website). It should redirect you to www.halfords.com, which probably won't work.

If that doesn't work (when you get redirected), then call your internet service provider & tell them that you're having trouble resolving DNS names.

You're right! It didn't work!

Great, I do enjoy a nice call to the help desk. :smt021 Might save that for another day...
