Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

[LightPhoenix]

I was unable to resolve the dns of 65.124.198.234 to any domain, so it looks like that would be the problem right there. This was where both traces that were posted timed out. It would help if others posted trace routes as described above.

same here

Same problem here since mid august.

Any news on this? Got a few folks in games that still aren't showing due this buglet. And I can't get to the rpgnet forums (they're not open for viewing).

 

[Piratecat]

So, I've gotten emails from another three people who have been cut off. I still don't know why. Here's a few questions:

- can you get to www.cyberstreet.com?
- can you get to http://www.circvsmaximvs.com?

 

[Klaus]

No and No.

Just like EN World, I can only connect to those sites through a proxy server (currently using 80.58.205.61 for that).

 

[Piratecat]

Claudio, at least one other person having this problem is in South America.

How do you make the proxy server work?

 

[Morrus]

Most of the people I've heard from by email have been from Australia, with a smattering from South America.

No, can't reach either via my ISPs normal dynamically assigned IP address, but can reach both through my ISPs proxy server (different IP address range).

My ISP thinks that some IP addresses ranges may be being blocked somewhere along the line, and if they are it seems to be at 63-144-217-198.cust.neotechus.com [63.144.217.198], as I get timed out whenever my trace tries to reach it (as do most others by the traceroutes posted here, as it's the next hop after 65.124.198.234). Whether or not IP addresses are being blocked though, that seems to be where the problem is.

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Configurations and mark the "Use a proxy server for this connection". Then type in the IP and port of the proxy server you want to use.

A simple Google search for Free Proxy Server List will give you tons of servers to use. You'll have to try a few out and see which ones work best for you.

I only mark the box when I come to EN World, and unmark it when I'm done, to speed things up.

Canberra, Australia. Problems accessing EnWorld for at least a week now.

MY ISP spent several minutes walking me through some possible fixes a couple of weeks ago. They were at a loss. And, like others, I could access EnWorld through the LAN at work (govt dept).
