Ok--This is really weird, but I have a desktop computer at home that I can get onto CS with... but every time i try and go on CS on my laptop, it doesnt work.

It says there's a network error, but i can go to every other website just fine...


Anyone else ever have this problem?


Note: My laptop is pretty much my "business" computer, so it stinks that I cant go on my fave forum.
 
Have you tried restarting and then going to cs?

Sorry...that's my only piece of advice!! lol
 
Try clearing your DNS cache and cookies and see if that helps.Clear the cookies in your browser.Then, Go to start, then run. In the box type cmd and hit enter.When the prompt comes up type:ipconfig /flushdnsHit enterTry again and see if it'll connect.
