Unable to log in to gaming site

[keda]

I've been a member of Gamesgrid (gaming site) for years, and for about the last month I haven't been able to log in from my home computer, though I can as normal and with no problem from any other computer. When I try to log in the system goes through the motions, and then returns a 'no connection' error.

I thought it may be a case for system restore, but unfortunately mine seems to have saved no points from last month, before my UK trip and when I had no problem logging in. Also, my system restore appears to have deleted all September restore points as well as early-mid October restore points, despite no pressure on disk space allocation, that I know for a fact were created since my return.

Now, the first I learned of the login problem was the day after I returned to LoS on 5th Oct, and immediately after I attached a USB removeable drive to test it; some error came up with an offer to auto-fix, I clicked OK and it was done, removeable always worked fine, but haven't been able to log in to Gamesgrid since...may or may not be a connection.

Since then, fiddling with some settings revealed the existence of some Realtech/Ethernet (?) network connector that I did not know I had before (am on ADSL using Access Runner), so I have since been deleting/deactivating/uninstalling wherever it was found, on the offchance.

Now at a loss and in urgent need of my gaming fix.

Keda, I know doodly about computers but the only time I've had problems with system restore self-deleting points was when I had the Brontok virus. Had it twice in succession and probably got it from restoring OS from the local pc repair shop. The virus also prevents any downloading of anything whatsoever. Can you DL stuff from other sites?

No problem, downloading all day via Azureus and also sporadically with Firefox. Everything works fine except access to that site from my home puter...can log in from any other.
