I can't connect to the forum!

[madcamel]

Hi
I can't access DNForum from my home computer for a few days now.
I think that my IP is blocked for some reason (no idea why) because:
1. From my work I can connect
2. Using a proxy (like right now), I can connect.
My IP is 80.178.201.236.
I also ran a network sniffer and it seems that after I make a GET request for the url www.dnforum.com, I get an ACK packet and right after it I get another ACK packet, but one with a reset flag set to 1, so the connection is being reset.

I opened 2 tickets in the support systems but didn't get any reply.

Would appreciate if someone could look into this issue.

Thanks
Idan

[madcamel]

It's still isn't fixed for me.
Yesterday I got a response from the "support system" saying that it should be OK now, but I still can't connect. (Now I'm using my work computer).

I'm glad to hear others are having the same problem. I thought I had caught something. I've been able to connect at 66.132.142.167, but the speed is really slow. I do hope it gets fixed soon.

[Mr Webname]

There have been a number of similar issues affecting different members at different times - I too had to use the IP for a while.

[scorpio]

Yes i can connect through http://66.132.142.167

The problem may be cause of Missing (stealth) nameservers.. dns3.ispserver.cx.

Thanks

[theparrot]

both nameservers are on the same net route seems to be the more likely issue

[Adam Dicker]

Is it fixed now?

[madcamel]

For me it's OK now

[Adam Dicker]

Madcamel, when did it start working for you?

-=DCG=-

[madcamel]

I just tried now and it worked.
A few hours ago it was still down for me.

[Adam Dicker]

Ok that's good as we made some changes abou6t 1 hour ago that seemed to fix it all.

What happened is simple, we have a security susyem on our dns servers to block ip addresses of anyone that pings us more than 10 times a second. What happened after the dns changed was yours and others isps had queued us up alot and went it resolved they requested us like mad and got put on the block list. I emptied the block list and started it fresh and voila all are back on. Thank goodness!
