Hi paceco46


Well, neither www.Lavamus.com nor any of its sister sistes:

www.JeyMP3.com and
www.JustMusicStore.com and
www.MP3Legal.org and
www.Isound.be and
www.AllOffMP3.org and
www.BoxMP3.net and
www.MP3-Store.org and
www.Tunes4U.org and
www.ShoutMP3.com and
www.YourMP3Top.com and
www.LigaMusic.com and
www.MP3ShopCart.com and
www.MP3Walls.com and
www.MusikTag.eu and
www.MP3Aim.com and
www.FileMP3Tune.com and
www.Groove-Bay.com and
www.MP3Lava.com and
www.EngineMP3.com and
www.MP3Royal.com and
www.MP3Crown.com and
www.MP3-Connect.com and
www.MP3Vita.net and
www.MP3Giga.net and
www.MP3Wong.com

seem to be down at the moment...


You can always check those kind of issues using this handy tool:

But if you still can't get any of the Lavamus stores to load, then you could be the victim of your Internet provider's blocking of 'unwanted' sites on its servers.


But fear not - you just do the following to circumvent this kind of unwarranted censorship:

Choose Internet Protokol (TCP/IP) and click properties
Choose Use The Following DNS-server addresses

Press down the Windows tab on your keyboard and hit R

Write: cmd (Click OK)

Write: ipconfig /flushdns (Press Enter)


Please notice the space between the g (in ipconfig) and the slash (/)

thanks for the advice. i can still get legalsounds and iomoio and millisong.
so would that still indicate that my isp could be blocking lavamus.

We see this occasionally, I'm afraid, paceco46


ISP's that randomly pick and censor sites, they 'heard' are 'illegal'


But if you aren't sure whether to believe me or not, then run the site through one of the below proxies:

http://www.the-cloak.com

http://www.tntproxy.com (please scroll to the bottom of the page)

http://www.zelune.net


Was I right - or was I right?

Probably

Did you run www.Lavamus.com (or one or more of its sister sites) through one of the proxies?

[paceco46]

to be honest with you solaris i am not particularly computer savvy,so when it comes to tech issues i am a bit daunted and intimidated.
what puzzles me however is that i was able to access lavamus and be able to download app. 100 trax, in the first place.
although i still have 6 trax sitting in my flashget download manager which i cant download i am having success with other sites downloads

Using a proxy to establish if a site is operational or not:


1. Enter the name of the proxy in the address bar, for instance: www.zelune.net - and press Enter (on your keyboard).


2. Just below the Visit Any Webpage-message there's yet another address bar.


3. In this you write www.Lavamus.com and left click on the Browse-button.


4. Now you are taken to the Lavamus site through the Zelune-proxy's ISP instead of your own - and will be able to see that the Lavamus site is alive and well


Once you have seen this for yourself, then please follow the guide to shift to OpenDNS (this is also really easy, if you just follow my instructions step by step )
