What the hell is error message 403??

[minsue]

OK, we've got Mats connected through my wireless and it appears to be fine. Yahoo IM works just fine. Everything looks hunky-dory until she tries to get online through IE:

Forbidden

You were denied access because:

Access denied by access control list.



Anyone have any suggestions? I don't know shit about IE, detest that damned thing. Help!!!!

Try clearing the cache, temporary internet files, etc? That's always my first solution.

Much thanks, SJ

We'll see if we get anywhere.

It sometimes means that the webpage no longer exists, or is that 404?

What is the URL you are trying to access? Let's see if others get the same error?

P.S. Sophia, you turn me on when talk geek.

Everytime I have encountered a 403 it means the web page designer/program they used does not like my program / version.

If you can, see if you can get to the site with a differant web browser, or see if you can update your currant browser, or both.

I thought I always turned you on?

It's every site we've tried so far on her browser. Yahoo, Lit, etc.

I'd love to download Firefox or the regular Mozilla to hers to get rid of IE, but it's all she has so we can't connect to a site to get them. Going to see if I can burn the downloaded file to disc from mine and try that.

Is she directly connected or are you sharing the wireless through a router?

Id you're using a router, you may have to assign an IP to it and change her IE to syync with that ip.

close prompt.

if you are running with a router, you might have conflicting ip's. this might solve it or...and... the other thing to try is unplugging the modem (dsl or cable) for several moments...
let us know?

What exactly does that do?

 

[Guest]

What exactly does that do?

if you have access through a router, it resets the ip address. it helps when there is concurrent use of internet...

Nope.

Thanks muchly, though.

I knew there was a reason I hated IE. Her connection is fine, it's just the freakin' browser. She'll just have to live with mine for a bit, methinks.

That made my toes curl. You are the Goddess of All Labia Great and Small.

P.S. Luck, Min and Mat, with the 'puter stuff.

Her connection is fine

Are you sure? it could be the router blocking her from using the internet. Of just web browsing, by blocking that port.
