Forum Discussion
Thanks for responding and trying to access the webpage of "home". I almost have to believe that there is a "setting", or something, that is doing this as we get the "homepage" on my Wife's laptop. I have not tried any other computers, yet. Will continue looking, poking and hoping. Thanks again.
I'd try the following...
1. Shut down all devices that connect to your HughesNet service. Make sure they're actually off and not just in standby.
2. If you use your own router, shut that off.
3. Unplug the HughesNet modem. Leave it unplugged for at least a minute, then plug it back in.
4. After waiting for at least three minutes to give the HughesNet modem time to be fully back up and ready, turn back on your router (if you use one), then wait a few minutes to ensure it is fully back up and ready as well.
5. Turn your device(s) back on and try to access the website.
It's possible that it's a DNS issue, and those steps should clear DNS entries from your network and devices.
Edit: I should add that it's possible that you're wife's computer is still able to see the old page because of cookies or something. I don't mean to intimate that this procedure will make all of your devices be able to see the old page, but rather make them all the same.
Time marches on and things change, but like nearly any other time pages change, you'll eventually get used to it.
