My Dad Has Blocked A Website, www.runescape.com. How can I fix this?

hey guys, my dad has blocked www.runescape.com and I need some help on how to fix it. He gave me some hints on how to, but I just don't seem to understand and I can't find any website that can help me on this. Here is the screen that it goes to in Internet Explorer>

The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this setting).

Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.

On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.

Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.

Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.

If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.

Click the Back button to try another link.

Cannot find server or DNS Error

Internet Explorer

Update:

Also, note that the website works on his laptop which has the same Connection as my Desktop, however I can't get it working on my Desktop. This means that it has nothing to do with the Router Settings or anything about the Router. I'm thinking it has something to do with Command Prompt but I'm not quite sure. Any help would be great guys!

    Did your dad use a 3rd party program to block runescape website???? If he did none of us can help you.

    If he did not, then he might of added changed the host file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

    Anyways heres the following step to unblock this:

    1)Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

    2) Open the host file with notepad

    3) Scroll all the way to the bottom and find some ip adress and www.runescape.com and DELETE it.

    4) There ya go!

    By the way I play Runescape.

  • sometimes it is automatically blocked with user settings. like if you are in middle school, some sites, like runescape, are blocked. if this is the case, ask your dad to change it and tell him in is appropriate. if he blocked it on purpose, you gotta deal, it is blocked for a reason then.

    A lot of Runescape PKers focus on one or two stats so that they remain a fairly low level player but pack a punch that is much larger than the average player their level. But be warned, other Runescape players are more of a challenge than a mindless monster. An actual player can heal themselves with food, or prayer to defend themselves, and can fight back with their own cunning strategies. The best area for PKing is North of Varrock, preferably North of the dungeon area.

    He blocked it for a Reason. If you spend all day every day hooked up to an online game like RuneScape, you may have an addiction to RuneScape.

    Will it kill you to take a break from it?

    I would recommend for your own good that you stop playing RuneScape and just try to find other interests.

    It could be in your internet settings. If it is blocked there, then you can unblock it, or download a new browser like "firefox"

    If that is not the case, then you can browse the internet through a "proxy". There are web ones (ninjaproxy.com) or you can do it through putting the IP directly into your browser - just search google for "web proxy"

    well if your dad has blocked the site, then you can go to a website called dtunnel.com and type www.runescape.com in the box on that website, and you should be able to access it from there.
