Problem for Aussie gamers accessing ENworld

[humble minion]

This problem seems to be back for me on Optus (%$@&!!) *sigh* Is it just me?

I haven't tried accessing from home since New Year's Day. Hopefully the problem isn't back again. I'm on holidays next week so I guess I'll find out.

I still have access from home. I'm on dial-up but I don't know if that makes any difference.

It was out for a couple of days, but it's back now. Hopefully to stay, though if it's some routing issue that's taking a while to propagate, then it might be intermittent for a while yet...

I wondered why the old thread wasn't updating... now I know.

I'm only ever getting timeouts.

That's what I get too.

Glad to see that it's finally working for you too. Hopefully that means that EN World is accessible to everyone around the world again.

Nope, sadly it's still not working for me on Netspace (netspace.net.au) without the proxy server, and hasn't worked at any point since the problem began.

I'm with netspace, and finally got on today (18th March, previous logon 14 January). I don't know when it came back, but within the last week.

Hmm, still doesn't work for me. I'll cycle my modem a little later though, as I haven't done that yet today, and see if that changes anything. Seeing as I haven't been able to log on by any method from Netspace, except via the Netspace proxy server, since late August though (which isn't too much of a hardship I must say ) I won't hold my breath.

Here's a traceroute from a PC that can't access ENWorld. The ISP is Unwired.

65.115.170.170, 216.82.98.82, and 65.124.198.234 are supposedly aliases, or at least listed as such here.

Not sure if that means anything.

And here's a traceroute from my own PC, which can get to ENW fine:

Strange; the traceroute from here gets past 216.82.98.82 just fine, but the other traceroute died past that point. Is neotechus.com not accepting packets from certain ISPs maybe...?
