Currently he could try http://70.87.96.70 if that were the issue. You never really know what ISPs do with their DNS servers and updates, occasionally certain ISPs can't reach various sites that they'd have no good reason to block. Those can be temporary or sometimes long term issues.

The 5 minute DNS updates are a blessing and a curse.
 
I told him to completely disconnect his modem from any routers and directly plug it in the ethernet port on his PC. That way, at least his routers/hardware firewalls could be ruled out as an issue.

Directly from Fufu:

"well here is the thing
: it worked one moment and then it just stopped, no options were changed on any of the networked cpus in the house
: the site doesnt work on any of the
: plus I rebooted the router and modem
: and turned off firewall
 
If he is coming off a router he may be NAT. Can he reach the site at all? Give him the IP address I listed on page 2 if he can't reach the site, if he can't login but CAN reach the site then tell him to try clearing his cache and cookies, maybe something got corrupted somehow.
 
Ok, again - can he even see the site or can he simply not login? If he cannot login is he getting an error message or is it looping - or what exactly?

BoneCrusher :shrug: I don't know what would have happened, can you post the exact SUBJECT used? If you found it in your history just copy and paste it.

I'm wanting to know what happened to the missing thread as well as wanting to see fufu back in here. I looked in my history, found the thread ... but after I clicked the link the name of the link changed to this:

I guess we will never know. All it say is, No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator. There is no record of it.

Here's a shot of my browser history (from Firefox). Notice the page titled "Fufu can't get on IM". That's one of the missing threads.

Those are the IPs for the Comcat DNS.

Those are regional, because mine don't match. :) Give him the IP address, which I think you and I have both said now probably 6 times.

If he were banned he could still reach the site, I kinda thought you guys would know that. If Comcast uses proxy/cache servers maybe that is the issue, I don't know if they do and if so on what level. AOL used to be problematic about that back in the day, along with WebTV.
 
Proxy means 'on behalf of,' its another machine that caches pages and passes them onto you. AOL uses this to avoid going out over internet pipes to get page info that has already been accessed by someone else on the AOL network, it updates - in theory, only when changes are made to that page. This used to cause login problems to various servers, hence seeing "AOL users click here!" on various websites. In this situation though the proxy would be used, in theory, to bypass any restrictions that are local. So instead of accessing http://www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com I'd be accessing http://www.myproxyserver.com which would probably have no restrictions and then I would tell myproxyserver.com to access the fat chicks site for me (on behalf of).

IP address, well, thats your identifier on the internet. Changing his IP address shouldn't really fix anything in this situation.

DNS is domain name system, only numbers mean anything to computers so ironmagazineforums.com translates to an IP address somewhere out on the internet. Sometimes multiple domains can be hosted in a single server though, in this case though that isn't a problem.

What do you mean "tell myproxyserver.com"? Do you go onto that site and plug in the real site you want? DOes any of this have to do with going into a computer's system and plugging in shit there?

People visit proxy servers to bypass limitations imposed on them by a network admin. So if a local admin at your workplace blocks a certain website, you could attempt to circumvent that by visiting a proxy server of your choice and surfing THROUGH that site. So your admin only sees the proxy server, he doesn't see outgoing requests to your blocked site. Now if incoming traffic is filtered then you might be screwed. Make sense?

So no, this has nothing to do with cabling or anything physical.

Just curious, but can proxies go beyond just visiting web pages? Is there a way you can use it to access services such as gamespy? One of my college friends has that port blocked by the school's network.
 
stupid question but has he tried rebooting his comp? someone else had that same problem n i suggested a reboot n it worked. i'd imagine he's tried that though.

You wouldn't want to use a proxy for gaming itself (too much latency added), but if it were for the chat/viewing portion of GameSpy that could probably work. You just have to find a proxy that provides more in depth services other than regular HTTP traffic, I don't know what ports or types of services GameSpy uses, I haven't used that in ages.

Hmmm that sucks, his lag is already horrible online without using a proxy on his school's network.

Ok well now I know what I was doing before was wrong. I was told to go to a website and there were a list of proxy addresses. I thought if I put one of the addresses on the computer I was using, I could access more places. Obviously, I am going about it all wrong.

I am trying to understand as much as I can, but I dont even have the basics down. For instance, I dont understand why I can access this forum, but I cant on say, rottentomatoes.com. How am I being able to access this page?

Bottom line, I want to be able to access pages that have forums and get to go on myspace. However, I dont know the first thing I should do. At this moment, my procedure to get on here is double click internet explorer, type in ironmagazineforums.com. It sometimes goes to the Access Denied page. When it does, I close down the browser, reload, type the address in again, and wha-la! It works! But only for this site and ls1.com.

Bare with me, I am totally clueless and honestly dont know the FIRST thing to do.
 
Any word on FUFU

I'm not sure what you're saying, because yes - that is what a proxy server is for in your situation. There are cache (proxy) servers, and proxy servers in the manner in which you are speaking, ON BEHALF OF. So yes, if you can find a list of proxy servers on the internet that are free/pay/whatever then that is one way one would hope to bypass locally imposed filter systems.
