It is www.walgreens.com, a drug store website. I download digital pics to their photo processing web site.
When accessing, using my office computer, it always says the server is down. At first I thought I was just catching the web site during periods of site upgradings, but I soon found that it never links to this website. Is there some setting I should change on my office computer?

contact your system administrator.
They might have blocked it from people accessing certain sites...
They probably didn't block walgreens... but maybe certain words... like greens.. or wal... ens... who knows.

Actually, when you have an "open" wireless hotspot, a hacker would still need to do some work to find your computer and then break into it. Most people who access open hotspots are just trying to get out to the internet. The concern would be if they were downloading massive files and eating up all your connection bandwidth. (And some providers are now starting to charge a bandwidth fee.) You will need to check with the specifics of your router to figure out how to do these things. (The company websites usually have the manuals online, if you don't have yours handy.) Some steps 1. Give your wireless router a unique name and set a password for the administrator. (Many people leave their routers on default, so hackers could take over your connection.) 2. Turn off the broadcast flag of your router, so it doesn't show up in the list of wireless networks when your neighbors do a scan. 3. Turn of WEP and set the encryption password. You will also need to set this password on any laptop that connects to this router.

You are most likely behind a firewall that your IT department has set up to block you from viewing websites that are unrelated to your job. Try going to myspace.com because I'm pretty sure just about every corporate IT department in the world has denied access to that one, so if you can't get there, then that's the reason. If you can, then someone else might have a better answer.

Your work probably has a filtering system and/or Firewall which is preventing outside access to certain sites it does not want you to go on. Try not to surf the web so much, since you employer can see where you go....

it could be because your work computer has blocked internet access to "entertainment" type sites. this includes game sites, time wasting sites, almost any site that have java applet chat rooms or messengers, adult sites of course, etc. sometimes you can get around these blocks by browsing with proxies.

because the work network has blocks put in place to prevent you from going to non business related websites.

Your Company found you've been net surfing on office hours,

don't try
it's a issue with the company (yours, not theirs)
Firewalled blocks some access.
