Just got connected to HughesNet after dial-up. Something's still not set right. Any wiz's out there?
I was having problems opening pages. Finally got through to tech support chat. Advised me that I needed to set proxy, which I figured, but still having a problem getting into my credit union account at times. When I hit secure log-in, sometimes it says that the page cannot be displayed. Other times it takes me right to it. Am not computer literate enough to find what needs to be adjusted. Any help would be much appreciated!

You might also empty your temp internet files folder, and then go to: tools/ internet options/ general/ temp internet files/ settings/check for newest version of pages(either automatic or every time)/ok/ok.
.... And then tools/ io/ security/trusted sites/sites/add that url/ok/apply/ok, and then tools/ io/ security/trusted sites/custom level/low/ok/apply/ok , and then tools/ io/privacy/add that url/allow/ok/apply/ok
Also try tools/internet options/ clear files and cookies/ok/ok. If that doesn't fix it, try tools/internet options/advanced/scroll down to "security" and uncheck the first 3 boxes/apply/ok/ok , then
Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click OK, at the command prompt type the following commmand = ipconfig /flushdns and then hit the Enter key. Now restart the computer and see if the problem is resolved.
and then reboot your pc, then scan for spyware and/or trojan infestation.
Check PC date and time. Double click to open and make sure the time zone and daylight savings settings are also correct . Some sites block access when you have incorrect time settings.
Also, you might want to go to tools/internet options/settings - and move the slider for the amount of disk space to use for the temp internet files folder to the right some, then hit OK/OK. This might reqire a restart for the new setting to take effect, but at least it may be worth a try.

Check to see if you accidentally added it to the adblock list or blocked it in your tools/internet options settings, and be sure your firewall is allowing IE outbound access to the Internet.
Most of the time , this problem is not at your end.It means the site you are trying to access is either experiencing heavier traffic than it can handle, has exceeded its bandwidth allocation , is temporarily down or for some other reason is not accessible. The most common reason for it not to be accessible is a problem where two or more of the backbones of the internet meet and swap data. For some reason requests from people on your backbone are not being routed to the backbone the site is on or vice versa. Again it is not your fault and there is nothing you can do. If it is all sites, it generally means your internet connection is malfunctioning and you need to contact your ISP.
