.tk?


Question Posted Wednesday December 14 2005, 4:10 pm

My computer has suddenly stopped letting me visit urls ending in tk. (e.g: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location))

I use Internet Explorer so I thought there might be a problem with it and downloaded Mozilla Firefox but it still won't let me visit those urls.

It's really irritating because all my friend's bands and other local bands have .tk urls and I want to look at their websites.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to solve the problem? I use Norton Anti Virus if that helps, although I've been through the options and it doesn't have anything about .tk urls.

Thank you.

Ooh, I hate .tk. I used to have a site there. It is EVIL, stay away!

I believe your pop-up block (if you have one) may be the obstacle. .Tk has a crapload of pop-ups, and annoying ones at that.

Go to your internet options, preferences, whatever it's called, and check out your privacy and security settings. Switch it to low and see if that helps.

If it doesn't, I have no idea what to tell you other than tell your friends to try hostultra.

well the .tk is an acronym for the country the site is based in. .jp is japan, .uk is the united kingdom, .ca is canada. so .tk could be turkministan, turkey, tajakistan, or any other country along those lines. now i don't know why it wouldn't load for you. that could be your own IP settings which like someone said before ping em and go to their IP address together.

well for a quick solution how about pinging the site and using the ip to bring the site up.
