(HELP) trouble with PAYPAL (cant open paypal in any browser)
June 4th, 2020
you know the trouble BT users have had with rapidshare recently, well the same things happening but with paypal for me, ive tried several browsers cleaned out all cookies etc. but the website wont load. i just get the “diagnose connection problems” page that comes up.. i heard they have just updated the site in someway but i dont know whats causing it…has anyone got any ideas please.
anyone else having trouble??
I was able to access and logon to PayPal with no problem.
Try putting PayPal’s numerical IP address in your hosts file located in:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Make sure if you�re using Notepad to look for all files not just .txt files.
I don’t know what PayPal’s numerical IP address is so you’re going to have to look that up yourself.
Call paypal…I wouldn’t rely on anyone else to help me with something as sensitive as that.
No offense guys…
Well if you tried accessing PayPal with several browsers and neither of them worked, it means the problem is not at your end. It’s at PayPal’s end …. all major websites have occasional problems. I’d say, just wait couple of days and try again.
Well, I accessed paypal just fine. If you cleaned out all the history, cookies , temporary internet files and it is still not connecting / resolving to paypal try this;
1. open the command prompt : Start > run > cmd
2. Type : ipconfig /flushdns
Now re-open your browsers and try to reach paypal.com
thanks guys i will try what you said and let you know, other people are having the same problem ive searched on google trying to find more info.
thanks
i did as you said and no joy.
this has been going on for over a week already, i’ll phone BT tomorrow (which i hate doing)
it just doesnt make any sense. any other ideas would be appreciated.
thanks guys and gals
oh and I did the host file thigy and paypal was already listed in the file, thanks though
