There's no hardware/software forum, so I guess that I should post it here.
For some reason, my computer seems to interpret some web addresses incorrectly and sends me to the wrong server. I know about two addresses so far that doesn't work. board.acmlm.org is one of those (Please. No "OMFG THAT IS SUXX BORED" comments). Here's what I know about the problem: board.acmlm.org directs me to "server.host1up2.com". Both Firefox and IE are affected. It can't be my router, connection nor ISP, as my brother's computer (connected using the same router) hasn't got this problem. Disabling my firewall doesn't fix the problem. Does anybody have the slightest idea of what the problem might be? ____________________   |

[ So acmlm.org is down for obvious reasons (data center moving). So uhm, what is the other site troubling? ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Well, more sites would be handy to know, so we could check if there's anything related  ____________________ I dealt with it. |

But what is it beforehand? ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by Ailure The problem has been there for a few months. Before that, it worked perfectly. I've had to use new.acmlm.org/board since then, which has been really annoying, Possible reasons for this problem: A problem with a domain cache shared by both FF and IE... but there's no such thing, is there? A problem with the firewall... that's still there even when it's deactivated... Nah... Problem with the network card/drivers/protocols/whatever. Some odd protection from my hardware firewall in the router. ...I doubt that... What really makes me wonder is why it worked, then suddenly stopped working... ____________________ |

Well, domain names are handled by the OS from what I know. So yes any type of cache would be shared anyway.
Might just be a problem with the DNS server that you happens to use. It happens. :/ ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

It's most likely a problem with the DNS cache. But if that was the case, I assume the same would happen on your brother's computer too. Hmm.. |

It could simply be a browser hijacking problem. If you have access to another computer, look up 'Hijack-This!', download that and put it on your computer. It should find something messing with your searches. |

I found the problem. Appearently, an ad removal program added board.acmlm.org to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS", causing it to redirect to another IP. ____________________ |
