Hi, Ive noticed that this topic regarding access to the above site has appeared on here a few times.

But can anyone tell me if the site is still going and why i cant access it from my computer or laptop also tablet.

I get nothing but warnings about phishing site and even if i disable the antivirus it still wont load.

I can see glimpses of recent entries on their site in google searches.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Works fine for me!

Strange ive tried to access it for months on and off , maybe something to do with Kaspersky antivirus i use but even if it were how come i still cant access it when ive disabled it or added it to trusted websites etc...?

Seems im the only one who cant get into the site

No you aren`t Mark. I`ve had ths same problem for the last few days Now I get "Server connection has timed out".

I`ve had this site bookmarked for many years and access has always been fine up till now. Maybe John has forgotten to pay the rent or gone on holiday or it might be windose 10 playing silly buggers.

Working fine from my iPad.

Working from W7.

Fine here with Win10 and Edge.

Straight in from 'favourites' list ... win.8.1, IE 11.

Rumour has it that this ISN'T why some TalkTalk customers haven't been able to access YouTube for a week.

I had the same problem a while ago, did a system restore to a time before the problem started, now OK.

Hi Mark,

Three things to try:

Try powering your router down and, after a minute or so, powering it back up again. Routers cache addresses and confusion abounds if they get corrupted as mine did during our last thunderstorm. A full reset causes the router to clear the cache and start again with a clean slate. As you have three different machines with the same fault, I think a router problem is the most likely suspect.

Disabling your virus checker won't help if web checking is being done by another software package, even if it is from the same vendor. You might have to look closely at your security set-up to find out what's blocking the site.

Related to point two, I tried to find out what the IP address of the site was to see if it could be called directly. The address is 212.48.75.22 but the website can't be accessed using it. I don't know if it's a security feature at their end or to do with the way the service is made available by their provider. I don't believe it's sinister, but the peculiarity may be upsetting your security software. If so try switching it off or using another product.

Good luck,

Dave

Have you tried clearing your cache?

I too had several weeks of outage with Homeworkshop.org, don't know what I did but it returned, I'm on EE for fibre..

Current message I get is ""The server at www.homeworkshop.org.uk is taking too long to respond." Every other bookmark I use is working perfectly with instant response. Spoke to son about it ( he has over 20 years experience on puters & systems) & he had a quick look and said its not you Dad its at the other end so he`ll have a look at it tomorrow. (The footie is on & he`s a fan then its of to pub).

Let you know what the outcome is.

Alan

Edit I have cleared my cache
