Internet disconnects visiting rip.ie

the watchman

I have been visiting www.rip.ie for a number of years with no problem.
In the last couple of weeks every time I visit the site my computer makes 2 low bleep sounds and completely disconnects from the internet. Now today it’s the same but firefox just has time to warn about a ‘fingerprint’ before it disconnects.
All other sites I visit are working fine.
I used CCleaner but the problem still persists

Anyone any thoughts.

Windows7 / Firefox.

Is it just Firefox this is happening with? What happens if you visit the website in Private Browsing?

If it doesn't happen in IE/Chrome, try disabling all your FF Add-ons. If the site works without any add-ons, re-enable them one at a time to see if it's one of them causing the issue.

Have you changed anything in the last couple of weeks (since the problem first occurred), either to your computer or your router? Have you any other devices on your network with the same issue?
