Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

[Klaus]

I managed to connect by setting IE to use a proxy in (currently) Lithuania. The proxy I tried in the US didn't manage to connect to ENW or CM.

It's slow as hell, tho.

How do I get an orkut account?

It would appear that doghead is having the same issue. He just emailed me. Klaus, what IP did you get for ENWorld. Scratch that I know how to get that - http://65.127.163.19/ I'll pass on the advice here to doghead.

Just thought I'd mention that I tried the IP address solution and it didn't work for me.

I've passed on all the advice here, noting that the ISP was the favorite explanation. Hopefully he'll have luck with that.

Give your email address to someone with an orkut account.

By the way, Nifelhein, a poster from Brazil, mentioned the same problem in RPG.net (i.e., not even the IP works for him), here. (Note: Tangency thread. Must be logged into RPG.net to read.)

His problem is:

You're crapping out at:

63-144-217-198.cust.neotechus.com

NeoTech is, apparently, a backbone service provider, with a slowass page.

This just started happening for me on my home computer.

It seems unlikely that all these people all around the world would simultaneously develop this problem coincidentally: Has ENWorld's host changed something this week?

iwatt has not been able to get on ENWorld for the past week or so. He is in Chile. I had him try the IP address and it didn't work.

Thanks for reposting ym problem, Darkness, I have been able to connect to the site just today, quick and simple. I will have to compare pinging with trace route to see what is happening now that wasn't before.

I advise people to ask those facign the issue to see if they can connect now.

I have had sporadic access over the week; it's affected both myself and another member over at CM as well. I was unable to access either ENW or CM for about five hours today, as was he; we were connecting from two seperate office buildings that belong to entirely different companies.
