I've tried and tried to access this page from home. I keep getting a Cannot find page error.

http://www.servicedvr.com/Extra/BuyExtraTivo.asp

I can open it at work but I just can't get it to work here at home. I am behind a Netgear MR814 router but every other page opens just fine.

I have since tried updating to IE6, update all my security patches, updated my router firmware and nothing works. I can open it fine at work but not here.

I've tried using IE 5.5, IE6, Netscape, Mozilla.

I have DSL and a Netgear rp334 router and I couldn't access it either. But, then I tried a dialup connection and it worked fine. Pretty weird, but I assume it means the router is blocking you for some reason. Why it would do that for this kind of page, I don't know.

I can't get to it either. Using telnet shows that the connection failed, so it seems like the server isn't actually accepting connections. anonymizer.com also couldn't load the page. Maybe the site tries to make a reverse connection to your machine or something of that nature, though that's a stretch for an explanation. I can traceroute to the site fine so it's not an issue of not reaching it.

I sent this page to a buddy last night and he's on Cox Cable and no firewall and it doesn't load. It loads for me at work but not home.

This is a deal posted on FW btw for refurbed TiVos.
