There's several potential causes of this but perhaps the most likely is a problem with your ISP's name servers. You could try using OpenDNS instead and see if that fixes the problem:

I have tried using three different devices and IE, Firefox and Opera. I even closed my WiFi on my phone switched on data and tried to connect that way. I could not but I could connect to other sites. So, the problem cannot be with my devices or router. Does anyone have an email address fro CHRoss?

From Chross' site: chross76@hotmail.com.

Yes, even some of us females like Chross - I give my hubby ideas I was just on a few days ago and did not have any problems. @Rollin - I have linked to your site from Chross. Cheers!

Have you tried accessing his site on someone else's computer? Or perhaps a public computer at an internet cafe or the public library? If that works, it [i]may be an issue with your ISP or your anti-virus software...

The problem, however, can be with your ISP's name servers which have nothing to do with your devices or router - that's why I suggested using the OpenDNS name servers instead of your ISPs.

Yes, he's been a great source of traffic, especially if he lists you in his "spankings of the week". I think several other bloggers here have benefited from that too.

Thanks for the suggestion of using OpenDNS Februs but I was a little nervous of doing that as I am not too computer savvy. CHRoss responded to my email very quickly and suggested re-booting the router but that did not help.

The a few days ago I was able to connect again! I have no idea how. It was nothing that I had done. Anyway, the problem is solved now and I am happy.

Thank you everyone from your suggestions and sympathy.

The chross blog seems to have been inactive for almost a year now. I tried emailing him a while ago but didn't get a reply - does anyone know what's happened to him?

I suspect that "life" happened, and the guy simply lost either the time to keep it updated, or the motivation to do so. Or both.
