Can't access forum

**Matt Wade** · 05-12-2003, 08:28 AM

OK, so you are thinking "So how is he posting this then??" I can't access the forum from home for some reason. I can get here from work (where I am now) and from my colocated box, just not from home. The traceroute dies just before hitting the dnforum.com box. I have tried to talk to the people at Rackspace, but they refuse to help me and tell me to talk to someone here. Can an administrator look into this? My home IP address is in the 68.17.226.* range. Is it possible that this IP range is being denied at the firewall? I would really like to be able to get to the forum from home.

Just to give you more info, I can't get to highimpactsites.com either. Located on the same box?

I've been on the fence about buying a membership, and obviously this could make my decision....

Try clearing out your internet cache. If you use Internet Explorer, click on tools--->internet options-->Delete files under temp. internet files. Also try and delete your cookies. Try the site again.

If the site does not load up, head on over to Mega Proxyand try to access the site from there. If you are able to there might be an issue with your isp, not routing your request properly.

Good Luck!

I know it is not an issue with internet cache. I have tried from both IE and Mozilla. A traceroute from a command prompt shows that the connection dies within the Rackspace network, so it is also not a problem with my ISP. Thanks for the suggestions though...

what ISP are you running at home? I know that if you are using Netzero Platinum you will not get here unless you turn off the image diluter(sp).

I am using Bellsouth DSL.....

Another bit of information I forgot to mention....I was able to get here up until about a week/week and a half ago from home with no problem...

Administrators? Care to comment at all? Or should I just give up on getting here from home and move on??

**Spider** · 05-13-2003, 09:47 AM

if you use a proxy can you get here?

**Matt Wade** · 05-13-2003, 09:50 AM

Yes.

Ahh..I'm in! Seems my PC was caching an old IP address or something. A nbtstat -R solved the problem.

Thanks all. And thanks to nhlrat who did email me about this...
