Blocked from accessing pbwiki.com?
User cannot access pbwiki.com from home computer. This connection issue occurred after a crash while upgrading their wiki.
User tried accessing pbwiki.com through the Firefox Browser, and clearing IE7 browser cache, cookies, temporary internet files & even History, and restarted the browser and computer during these steps.
Two ways to turn on cookies AND add pbwiki.com to your trusted zone ...
In Internet Explorer; to add 'pbwiki.com' to your trusted zone; just double-click the icon near the bottom-right of your browser (just under the main internet window) and add ' pbwiki.com' to your trusted zone. You will have to uncheck the HTTPS box before adding pbwiki.com to the list. Then re-check the box before you click OK. The HTTPS box is checked by default and is a safer setting for your system.
Another way to add pbwiki to your trusted zone ...
* Click 'Tools' in your browsers toolbar, then click 'Internet Options'.
* Go to the 'Privacy' tab. If you are not allowing any cookies at all, set a slightly lower security setting. (Medium is good for most users)
* Click the 'Sites' button and add 'pbwiki.com' as a trusted website.
* Click Allow.
* Apply your changes, and click OK.
You will have to uncheck the HTTPS box before adding pbwiki.com to the list - then recheck the box before clicking OK.

Inappropriate?Case# [redacted at request of PBWiki - GSFN], is still unable to connect to pbwiki.com.
User replied;
1. added the pbwiki.com domain into the trusted zone of IE. But it didn't work.
2. re-installed IE7 using the IE7 with Service Pack 2. But I didn't work.
So, the next thing which I'm going to try out is to downgrade the IE7 to IE6. Apparently, one of my students has just written to me that he couldn't access the pbwiki from all of his 3 laptops at home. -
Inappropriate?Are other websites working for this user? What about other secure websites, such as https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html ?
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Hi Rebecca,
I've just downgraded my IE7 to IE6 & it still didn't work. I'll contact my local ISP to find out if there is anything can be done. Thx. -
Inappropriate?Hi Brian,
I've no problem connecting to https site as I am connecting to the secured site of my campus from home. After getting so much of guidance from PBwiki support in terms of changing browser setting such as adding pbwiki.com as a trusted website etc.. & I still couldn't access any of the pbwiki sites. I could only conclude that I need to check it out with my ISP to see if anything that could be done further. Thx to pbwiki support team esp. Rebecca for all the help. Once I find the solution, I'll share it here :-) -
Inappropriate?Hi Rebecca,
My problem of accessing pbwiki.com sites is finally solved. I contacted my ISP technical support who guided me in making the following settings:
1. set my connection to the DNS server manually instead of obtaning DNS server address automatically
2. Change the LAN settings in my IE browser by using a proxy server
Hope that my sharing is useful to those users who face a similar access problem.
I’m happy!
