ok so just yesterday i noticed one of my sites is not loading for me but 5 of my friends are able to go to to the site, i have tested this myself on another ISP on my other friends computer and sure enough the site loads, on my system the site is not loading, i tried other sites on teh same server and sure enough they are also not loading, what can be the cause, something is blocking me from visiting my own site, now i cannot get emails from that site also, im baffled !!! any help would be just super, thanks
I pinged the site and its timing out, i just had my sister visit the site and the site loads for her, for me, every other site loads but my own, i dont get it at all, is something blocking it that im not aware of? software, virus, etc. i checked for spyware or virus, im clean
i think the DNS does not resolve on your end, its not a server faulty try to manually edit the 'host' file on C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc to suit your site ip
here is whats in my host file now, what do i need to do? # Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost # Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy 127.0.0.1 www.007guard.com 127.0.0.1 007guard.com 127.0.0.1 008i.com 127.0.0.1 www.008k.com 127.0.0.1 008k.com # End of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy
this does not seem to be a dns problem, you can confirm that by doing nslookup from cmd line nslookup mysite.com As other sites on the same server are also not loading so it is a traffic routing issue the issue can lie at both your ISP or your host (firewall blocking certain sources of traffic) do a tracert of the server ip and see where the traffic is being dropped, take up the problem with both the host and isp
Sounds like you IP may have been banned from the server side. Are there other sites on that same server that you are able to access? Do you have a dedicated server, vps or shared hosting account? I would contact the host if you are shared, and see if your IP has been banned.
ok here is what i get with nslookup and yes other sites on the server are also not loading im not to familiar with hosts and isp's and server side issues in general so this is all new to me, im using windows 7 which has windows 7 firewall control and also using microsoft security essentials how do i change network? why would ISP put a block?
Find your IP, and send an email to your host asking them to check the firewall for your IP. http://iptools.com
i dont think my host has anything to do with this, this has to be something else, im sure something like this has happened to someone else, its just so strange that this would happen out of the blue
manually add your site ip and domain on the last line (below # End of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy) for example: 203.255.169.1 mywebsite.com save it and try browse your site now hope this helps
i thought the host file is to input ip addresses yo do not want to load? anyhow i tried it and that didnt work either
not sure what you mean but here is the link of my site i opened with some proxy http://www.atunnel.com/index.php/010110A/687474702s7777772r6469766973696s6r62656p6p2r636s6q2s the site did open with the link above
The host for your website runs the server, which will have a firewall as well. What I am saying, is that they could have your IP address listed as being malicious, and are not allowing it access to the server. I've had this happen to clients of mine as well, where their IP gets blocked, once they send me an email with the problem, I remove the block.
ok i will contact server tomorrow and see if this is the case, and if this is not the case, you think its my ISP thats blocking? or is it something within my PC i need to fix?
