Problem with NI's site...

[Manos]

Hello,
I am having problems getting in the ni's web site ( www.ni.com or even any
http://exchange.ni.com ).
IE5 keeps returning that the page is "currently unavailable" (for the past
2 months...)
Has anyone faced this problem?

Thanx,
Manos

I've had no trouble (obvious by the fact I am using http://exchange.ni.com to 1. see your post, and 2. answer it. Both sites work fine.

Are you behind a firewall / proxy server ?

I had exactly the same problem a few months ago. I was unable to see the NI website nor Exchange from my workplace, but everything work fine from my home computer.

Check with your system administrator (Although, it can be hard to convince them that the problem is in the system they manage. In my case, my sysadmin keeps saying that maybe NI shutdown their site at certain hours 🙂 Unbelievable attitude!) As Shiner suspect, maybe they made some changes to the firewall or proxy settings that is affecting you.

Strangely enough, I have the same problem if I use Internet Exploder, but when I use Netscape, the sites show up no problem at all. My guess would be that you're on a Microsoft network and the "security" system does not like something (either the site name or some of the content).

Exactly! With Internet "Exploder" (Just can't resist, I found it very funny!)
