My Adsense does not show up on all Computers

[majestic]

Does anyone know why it is that when I view one of my websites at my brothers house Adsense does not show up? My Brother has never been able to see it and also my AskJeeves Searchbox also does not show up.. The same thing happens on my cousins P.C . They both have XP as do I but I am guessing it must be some security setting but I cannot figure out which one. The AskJeeves folk could not answer this so I thought I try the "real" experts... You guys.

Thanks in advance David

Since Google Adsense uses java to deliver the ads, you may want to check any computers that are having problems to make sure Java is turned in the browser settings. Just a thought, but it doesn't make sense that yours is seeing them and no one else is. If that is the case you better check your html code to make sure that they aren't referencing a local folder on your machine or something.

One other thing I forgot to mention. Tell your brother to refresh the page before you do anything. It's not good enough to just click refresh.

To force a refresh, hold down the control key while clicking on the refresh button on the browser. You can also tell them to delete all temp internet pages if they haven't.

Now that so many people have higher speed connections, there really isn't much reason to have a browser set to "never or automatically" refresh pages. Set it to "every time" for a better browsing experience. Not sure if IE uses the automatic setting by default, but more than likely does.

Do they use Norton Internet Security? This may block Adwords by default.

Thanks for all the great advice.

Yes my brther uses Nortons but ... So do I .. I am really baffled.. I have tried the refresh many times..

I am sure the cause is something simple but I need to find out exactly what.

Cheers again David Dwight

firewalls my friend

Macaffee has this CRAZY level of security. Stopped adsense, cookies..everything.

It was so freaking good at protecting you it bloked its own popup that allowed you to get the virus update definitions. Took me two hours on and off to work that one out. lol

Just to be precise, AdSense uses JavaScript, not Java. These two are totally different.

I stand corrected budapesttips.

My problem is not the adsense not appearing (though it does happen on occasion), when looking at 2 pc's in the same location and time but PSA's on 1, with good ads on the other when viewed at the same time and place (and using a network router with same ip address). Have seen that happen quite often, anyone know why?

You might check your hosts file. I had a similar situation on another computer I own. Turns out the hosts file had been modified (possibly by some sort of spyware that had gotten through), and adsense ads were not displaying at all on it. I restored the file, rebooted and all was well. On XP it's located here:

WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
