Help on link issue please ...

This is weird. On a laptop I have, I cannot access:

http://www.uboat.net/today.html

"(Forbidden) you do not have permission on this server ..."

Any searches to this site on Google comes up with "blocked".

Duh! I have looked at all the options on the puter and Google and cannot find what is causing this?

Is anyone else having this issue????

I see the entire site fine on my desktop PC per my sig line ...

Fine from my desktop with FF8, Chrome and IE9. Do you have any Ad 810cking software?

Weird - never had any website blocked:

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at www.uboat.net Port 8080

Also: 403 Forbidden

seems like a Microsoft issue?

even happens when I send the link by email ....

Is your laptop using Wi-Fi, and your desktop cabled?

Is a puzzlement!
Try turning off your firewall, anti-virus, and any ad blocker.

I don't know either. I have XP and IE8, and had no problem getting there at all.
