RED LETTER DAY!! A Yorkshireman and a Lancastrian have agreed on something :))

Hey!

That war was over many years ago.

It's the French that are still fighting their 100s years war from long ago!...

Didn't know that(I knew about the 100 years war, My family left France before the 100 years war started and went to live in Ireland in the 12th Century, So We missed It. Although My mothers side of the family may have been a part of the war as they have English heraldry[Nobility] as a part of the family trees(Coan[phonetic: Kone] and Spafford).

[quoteNo problems, acessing it from Holland, some(parts)off Europe, France reported also problems.

Hard to figure out, what is going wrong? Can it be blocked, for some reason???[/quote]

As i said before i have problems and do live in holland (Amersfoort).
To make things even more confusing i only have the problem from my current work location (Amsterdam) not from home.

This has to do with routing and maybe it clarifies if you would know a bit more about how this is done.

1 you take an internetprovider so you can connect to the web.
2 the provider however wil not have any long distence lines and is buying bandwith from a local operator (like in holland KPN).
3 this local provider in turn contracts global providers for intercontinental links.
4 when the traffic has reached its destination it has been passed back to the local lower operators to be deliver to their client.

In schematic the routing to a webpage would go:

YOUR ISP ---> LOCAL OPERATOR ---> GLOBAL OPERATOR ---> LOCAL OPERATOR ---> SITE ISP

This means there are 5 companies involved (which can actualy be even more).
Somtimes the role of one off these is combined or provided bij some organisation.
I for instance am located at (when writing this) an educational organization (is ISP) connected to a national educational network (local operator).

A schematic of the failing route would be this:

YOUR ISP ---> LOCAL OPERATOR ---> GLOBAL OPERATOR --X-- LOCAL OPERATOR ---> SITE ISP

or

YOUR ISP ---> LOCAL OPERATOR ---> GLOBAL OPERATOR ---> LOCAL OPERATOR --X-- SITE ISP

Looks like I'm now not getting through also, drat, I hope it's just maintenance or something and I haven't fallen off the broken web link too...

Hi Jason,
too bad... maybe we should to copy the whole server anywhere to Europa, or Australia. I think the US-provider want money to go through...
my 2 cents to this problem

Now i cann't access their site as well!

Normally i can reach their site from the BOINC Manager, since i'am a member off The Knight Who Say Ni .

Don't know what is the matter right now.

But . . . . Keep On Crunch1ng

Well I start my Linux admin course in about six weeks, maybe I'll scrape together some basic server during/after that time. After some kiddie managed to get on my network last week I'm not comfortable I would have the time, skills or resources to secure a windows server so It may end up a Linux variant (or maybe FreeBSD) once I've developed those skills. I think traffic wouldn't be huge for that site, but if it becomes a problem with my ISP, then I'll consider a commercial plan to host some of my other work (mostly electronics, no web page yet).

I am also getting a page load error, so something is going on with the server.

My apologies. I made an unjustified assumption based on your declared location.
I should have looked more carefully at the name.

But I thought only a red rose would take the comment as such a slur ;) There again, tarnishing a Scot's reputation by association with and English county... Mea culpa.

Site is back up for me now.

For around 3 hours or something I couldn't connect to lunatics.kwsn.net.. the first time for me..

Now everything okay again..

I wish it had come back for me, but not so far. The ISP I use most of the time had worked up until last night, since then the routing is diverted to the dead path. My "backup" ISP has been bad since the trouble started.

Ah, well, I'll use a proxy if the direct route doesn't recover. There are plenty available, it's just a matter of research to find something reasonably safe.

                                                                 Joe

Found this interesting hotspot_VPN
maybe this works to go to lunatics.
get it a try....

Not sure if this is significant, but when I clicked on the link http://lunatics.kwsn.net, the page did not load. But when I pinged the site:
