For some reason my computer can't access a website. I just got accepted into a college and it won't let me access ANY of the website associated with that school. Also I just got denied to another website as well so now that makes it two!! I've heard of getting a virus that can change your hosts file which would make sense, but there's no way I have a virus. I visit these sites pretty frequently also. My roommate also can't get on the websites either from his computer, so I guess that would rule out the virus, and I'm guessing it would have to do with my router/IP. I've reset my Airport Express, tried using only ethernet and I still can't get to them. Anybody know what it could be? I desperately need to access the schools website!!! Thanks!
 
I think TPB was shut down, wasn't it?

I can get on Indiana.edu fine, so you must be having ISP issues at your apartment, unplug your modem, wait 30 sec, and then plug it back in.
 
TPB was working fine a day or two ago. I cant unplug the modem because the apartment has internet included so I just plug my ethernet cable into a jack in the wall. I hate that I have no control over my modem!!
 
Looks like TPB is down or gone. Funny that

The other link worked fine for me.

Have you tried accessing the web based management console of the router, if there is one that is?

Then you need to talk to the apartment manager. We can't help you.
