Clarification Request
What is "2007scape"?
Apr 1, 2016 7:13PM PDT

There are browsers that won't work today due to changes and outright abandonment of broken protocols.

Your post left out details and I've never heard of 2007scape.

My bet is that's where you'll get 2007scape support.

I don't run that app

And here we are with no PC, OS details and what changed since it worked. Given the sparse details plus a pretty rare app (no one has posted here about it) you have a rare failure but nothing to work with.

Tell what else doesn't work as well as machine details before and after the failure.

full pc specs
cpu - intel i5 2310 @ 2.9Ghz
motherboard- dell 0Y2MRG
12g ddr3 ram (unknown brand atm)
graphics- nividia geforce gt 730
wirless usb card -NETGEAR WNDA3100v3 N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter

Before
had small issues with the network card itself so i thought, we had a router issue in which i had reset the router setup the same wifi as prior, as per the network card on this current computer i uninstalled its drivers and re intalled to make sure no issues on that side.

After
all seemed quite normal as i can play my game through an osbuddy client with no issues however i had slight issue with both firefox and chrome in general to which i re installed both and only have found this current issue with the 2007scape site i have tried other sites and wikipedia home site with no issue,
i did some reasearch although not sure how exactly to run a trace route to determine if its me or them and what other possible thing could help find the solution to whose end its on
