Contact website: You may want to contact the website administrator to make sure the Web page still exists. You can do this by using the e-mail address or phone number listed on the website home page. If you are still not able to view the requested page, try contacting your administrator or Helpdesk.

You should contact the IT dept at work and ask them to look at this. Perhaps they have a proxy that is not working correctly. Or the site is blocked for whatever reason. Unless you are the IT person...

I believe that the whitepages website used to blacklist IPs they felt were "excessively" using the service, or using it for "business purposes". Try ringing them: You can also contact us at any time with the following contact information: Free phone: 0800 803 803 Or if you can get to this page (which is yellow pages, and may or may not be blocked): http://help.yellow.co.nz/yellow/contact-us/ there is an autoemail form to fill in.
