I’ve been trying to access the [NY Daily News](http://www.nydailynews.com/) website for a few days, and I’ve not been able to get the site to come up at all. I’ve tried Firefox, IE, and Chrome. I tried deleting the cookie as well.

Any suggestions?

Does “208.64.111.142” work for you? I have no problem with either, and I have cookies turned off completely.

I tried, but it doesn’t work either.

I think when everyone goes to bed later I will try resetting the router and see if that helps.

What kind of problem are you seeing? Do you get a blank page, an error code, a redirect to a different site?

Maybe you were ip-banned.

A blank page.

I tried resetting my router this morning, and it didn’t help.
