Somebody Help A Brother Out

[el-remmen]

I have not been able to reach the new Rat Bastard boards all morning, and I cannot tell if it is a matter with my server, or a matter with some firewall at my job (strangely, I cannot reach the old EZboard version either).

Can someone try to hit the page: http://www.aquerra.com/phpbb/index.php and let me know if they can view it?

Might as well try the RBC archive boards as well: http://pub56.ezboard.com/baquerra

Thanks in advance!

I read somewhere in my travels today that EZBOARD.COM is down for maintenance or something along those lines...

I can access the 1st site from work without a problem. The 2nd one is loading slowly... slooooowlyyyy... *falls asleep while the page loads*

Edit: I can't access the 2nd page after all...

EZBoards has been unsuccessful - as mentioned they're moving their servers, I believe, but I have no problems getting to the new Rat Bastard Boards.

Thanks!

It must be a local problem then. . . Hmmm, now how to get IT to fix it w/o them realizing it is not a work-related site?

That's easy. Do what my customers do to me all the time. Tell the IT guy

"I have a number of work related sites that I'm unable to access. But this one is the easiest exmaple to get to that isn't working."

Silly users must think I'm an idiot when the complain and use the NFL site as an example.

Do a trace route from your machine (tracert www.aquerra.com if you are on a Windows box, traceroute www.aquerra.com if you are on a unix box). If you see it start dropping packets at a particular spot, then there might be a network problem somewhere. If it traces all the way through, they are probably filtering ports and possibly filtering non-work related sites.

Yeah, I got it working now - I needed to tweak some options on my side. . .


Thanks anyway. . . I'll be closing this thread now.
