telnet newegg.com 80

if you have a linux box at home

nmap newegg.com -p 80

still nothing

only thing I can think of is that the IP, or range of IP's that I'm on has for some reason been banned for the website?

weird that I can ping it np tho

May have just firewalled port 80 from your IP/IP Block. Though I would expect if they wer egoing to block, they would blokc everything not just port 80.

weird DNS stuff probably... what if you type the IP in to the address bar?

i can ping http://www.newegg.com though, so it can't be a dns issue

Is another computer on your home network able to access it?

nope

and i don't do any keyword filtering at the firewall level either

this is retarded

still can't get there

are there any other tech/sales websites with good filtering engines like newegg?

i'm trying to narrow down specs on a laptop to buy, but most other sites are fucking pains

Why not just use a proxy to get you there for doing your searches. Wont help you with ordering anything but atleast you would be able to access the site

Try this link

http://www.newegg.com/index.asp?PageStyle=%23

It's supposedly a 'lite' version of their site...whatever that means.

Also, check out this link and see if it helps
