problem to access diyaudio.com

[till]

since yesterday i can´t access diyaudio with normal browser, i get timeout errors. I´m logged in now throug guardster webproxy...

any hints what could be the problem? my connection is t-online / dsl / hardware router / in germany.

The server just changed. There's a bunch of gobbledy-gook about DNS and proxies and caches. Bottom line: clear out your cache and things will probably be OK.

 

[till]

thanks, i rebooted my router, i cleared the DNS cache, - it still does not work and i need to use an external proxy to reach diyaudio...

 

[SY]

OK, I'll call in one of the guys who actually understands this computer stuff.

Not pretending to understand but.......

Till,

Try typing this IP adddress into the Address bar:

htp://209.124.89.84

If that works, then it means that the DNS server you or your ISP uses hasn't updated since diyAudio changed server. It will in due course.
You can sometimes choose a couple of DNS servers' IP's and put them in your internet settings.

http://209.124.89.84

does not work, only timeout

Then I think the address is being blocked by your ISP. Mine did this for a week last year. They said it was a proxy server problem, but I think it just got caught up in a range of addresses they block deliberately.

Looks like you'll have to continue to use a free proxy server for now....

Running windows?... you can try this

Look for a file called "hosts" in C:\windows

rename it to myhosts then delete it.

retry

It has worked for me on occasion when the DNS is wrong.

 

[jean-paul]

I would not delete the hosts file. You can check what's in it and if there are more hosts files. Some worms etc. creat a second hosts file. But I assume you have a good virusscanner so that can't be the problem.

Do a search for the hosts file, every Windows version has one but the location may differ.

 

[till]

there is NO hosts file in C://windows.

i cleared the DNS cache with C:>ipconfig /flushdns

If you cannot get to the IP then we are beyond DNS issues.

Traceroute? I agree, sounds like an issue with your ISP.

since yesterday i can´t access diyaudio with normal browser,

What about www.diyvideo.com
or www2.diyaudio.com ?

" What about www.diyvideo.com

timeout. i´ll use the free proxy and report in a few days.

its slow and some function do not work like quoting.

Here's a few InterWeb (sic) tricks you can try:

1) From your command prompt, try telnetting to www.diyaudio.com, port 80 (telnet www.diyaudio.com 80). Type "get /" if you get a connect statement. If you don't, something is blocking you from reaching diyaudio.

2) If you're getting blocked, run a traceroute to diyaudio and post it here.. Maybe we can dissect what's inbetween you and diyaudio.

What I would guess may be happening is that your ISP has a caching server or some sort of proxy server (as others stated) that is blocking your connection. I would try giving them a call first and say "Hey, I can't get here now.. Do you guys have anything that may be blocking me" .. If they do, then kindly ask them to remove it

Same problem!!!!

Hi Till,
i have the same problem when using my dsl connection (1und1 Provider),
when using isdn over freenet everything works great. Using a proxiserver i can´t post.

I don't think you can trust 'trace-route' or 'ping' to diagnose network faults as these protocols are often blocked by firewalls and the like.

Yes, but provided your ISP has not borked your connection they are pretty useful. If you can tracert yahoo but diyaudio fails on the second jump, there is your answer.
