Since last two days I m not able to access yahoomail, gmail or orkut.
It was about 2 days ago when I tried to access yahoomail and page did not open. For an instance I thought site must be down. So, I tried to open gmail ... again the same ..... site did not open .... same with orkut.
Other websites would open but specially social networking sites didn't open up. Luckily mylot is still working for me!!
Any solutions?

Remove your browser cookies and check browser's option that they are blocked . give some details that what the error showing .is it page cannot display problem?
if it is true then you go on window folder of your root directory then system32 folder then device after then etc there is a file hosts. open it on notepad and check there is name of these website.

when i go online, i open at least 2 tabs in my firefox browser, one is for yahoomail and the other is for mylot. yesterday and until today, i have no problem accessing yahoomail. today, before i post this response, i checked my gmail account and found it fine, no problem either. so i can't see anything why you cannot access yours. maybe, there are some security measures or settings in your computer that needs to be checked, maybe it's in your firewall settings.

There must be some browser problem.try loading the page in other brower.
Most probably your PC has got some virus or malware kind of thing....use a good Antivirus or Format your computer (that's what I do when I face these types of problems)
Good luck

Oh really?
Those sites are not down because I've been accessing them all today until this very minute. Perhaps there's a problem with your network or firewall or something. Perhaps it's a virus.
Have you asked your friends in your area if they are having troubles as well? If the problem is isolated to you, I'd suggest you do some virus scan or perhaps installing the softwares like firefox or explorer (whatever you're using) to see if the bug would be fixed. Otherwise, try reformatting.
But of course, try to assess first if the problem is isolated to you alone. But on my end, there's nothing wrong with those sites because I am able to access them properly without delay.
Good luck!

Hi, Sanchet!
I can access my yahoo mail without any difficulties. I think it might be the browsers you are using like one of the members mentioned. Did you open two browsers at the same time??
When I first installed the Firefox, I could not login to my yahoo mail. So, I was so annoyed because I thought there was a problem with my internet provider or something. However, when I changed back to IE, it worked just fine. I think it happened because of the browsers setting when I kept changing within these two. Now, I only use one browser at a time.
That was what I experienced before. If this isn't the problem, try to check for more information on the net. I'm sure you will find the solutions. Good luck!!
