Website blocked?

WolfPaul · 23 Feb 2007 at 21:11

Hi All!

Have been trying to get on this Ajax site all evening:

www.ajaxtalk.nl/Forum

I know the site is up and running because my mate can get on there, and I've been on it at work today too. Doesn't matter what browser I use, IE, Forefox, Opera: none of them will get me on the site. So there must be some system setting blocking the site - any ideas what I could try? Have already tried disabling XP firewall, and there's no other security running.

Many thanks!

Who is your ISP, and what does a (start, run, cmd) tracert to the site look like?

WolfPaul · 23 Feb 2007 at 23:21

ISP is Blueyonder; sorry don't know how to do tracert, can you explain a bit more? Thanks.

goto Start then Run then type cmd

then type... tracert www.ajaxtalk.nl

Start.. Run.. type 'cmd' then tracert www.ajaxtalk.nl

Should look like this

Edit:/ beaten by 4mins, serves me right for getting a drink.

Also just noticed my wireless on my laptop is very poor 200+ping to the router :eek:

Try changing your DNS servers:

Thanks for the info will try that, much appreciated.

If it was DNS, you'd be getting a different (or no) IP.

It looks like a Telewest routing issue - I get the same route as fothsn.

If your ISP blocks the site, phone them up and ask why and to unblock you, failing that use a proxy, thought it's not ideal on forum-type sites.
