Its an ISP problem. I used to face this with VSNL for some other sites. The sites did open through a web-proxy but not directly.

Go to \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open hosts file with notepad and c whether the two sites are listed. if its listed den remove it and save.

Its an ISP problem, u can't do anything. Try calling the customer care.

hey, have u tried going to gmail through proxy sites ?

Go to *www.zendlife.info/ and then enter www.gmail.com and then try. It should open.
OR
Try this proxy

Clear your browser's cache totally (passwords, history, etc) and then try to open orkut. You said it tells you to download a file called "ORKUT.COM".. tht means your browser faces a problem displaying a site. Always keep 2-3 browsers installed and check in each one of them.

did you change anything in your firewall?
try changing your dns to open dns

and please use proper english on your next post

Try to ping the site go to run->cmd-> ping www.google.com
Try to clear ur browser temporary file, history and and cookies.
Try to flush the dns cache go to run->cmd->ipconfig /flushdns

use opendns server primary 208.67.222.222 secondary 208.67.220.220

anzaan banned for a week for improper conduct on the forum. And yes, please use proper english when you post. We are not fans of sms lingo.

Banned today? Why so late? He probably disappeared off after his prob got solved and probably wont come back until the next one pops up.

The post was reported yesterday.. Anyway, let him come back.. If he repeats his behavior, he will get a permanent ban..

Okay, understood. Nice to have you around.
