Websites Unreachable www.wwiionline.com and www.playnet.com

I cant even Ping these sites through NTL but according to everyone else Not through NTL the websites are up and running fine..

Can somebody on NTL here try and get one of those sites up for me to check?

Thanks.

Works fine for me.

MatTman · 30-10-2004, 21:30

i dont get it,, they wont even Ping for me...

what could be causing this? im not behind a router.

Have you tried another proxy?

Chris W · 30-10-2004, 21:58

neither site replies to ping requests. I would agree with Mal... try a proxy and see if that helps...

let me know which area you are in so i can pass on the details to the relevant people for investigation

I Live down in Ashtead, in surrey..

it seems to have fixed it self just now, but it happens intermittantly and very random..

One site that I cannot reach through NTL is http://www.benefitsnow.co.uk/ . Have to resort to a dial-up account to get to it.

Hi

All those sites work fine for me here in Warrington.

ian@huth · 31-10-2004, 00:22

I have tried various proxies and can now get to the site. I cannot get to it if I don't specify a proxy or if I specify the one I usually use if I have a problem. I did try several proxies some time ago and couldn't get to the site on any of them. The message I got was

because the web host is detecting the address of the proxy, rather than people's real ip and blacklisted the proxy ip. Only thing you can do to get round this is to specify a different proxy.

The solution is to pass details to ntl, who will contact the host to have the block removed.... if the problem is still ongoing, PM me the details and i'll pass them on.

I have the same blacklisted ip problem (mine would usually be one of the nottingham ones), swan-cache-2.server.ntli.net:8080 works fine for me though.
