HELP cannot connect to the site why?? by cancel on 06-20-2005 at 03:43 PM

Why I cannot connect to www.msgplus.net ?? it has been for almost a year already I just cannot connect and I cannot download it at all.. anybody help me?? with FireFox it says "This connection was Refused when attemping to contact www.msgplus.net" and with internet explorer it says:

"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. "

It is really weird my friends can connect but I can't.
I tried everything turning off firewall, anti virus etc but nothing.. Am I banned or something? Because its weird I never did anything or done anything to patchu??

Please help,

                  Thanks

You may wanna check your hosts file.

info: Connection refused when contacting www.msgplus.net

Are you on an account with adminpriviledges? If not sure reboot into safe mode and choose account named "administrator" (Win XP). Also don't forget to save the cleaned up hosts file.

Edit: you're welcome :D
