View Full Version : Odd website problem

Here is an interesting problem for you guys.

I started a website with my roommate yesterday. When I woke up today, FireFox kept on giving me "time out" errors. I didn't worry about it and went to work.

I came back today and the website continued to time out. IE didn't fare any better. My roommate told me that he was able to show the website to one of his coworkers earlier that day. I asked some people on AIM to check it out and they were able to go to the site.

So it appears that only I am unable to access the site and that makes editing it very, very inconvenient.

I'm behind a hardware firewall, but I haven't changed any of those settings in months. I cleared out the cache but that didn't help. It's obvious that it is something with the LAN but I really have no idea what it could be. I figured that I would ask here and get some input before I do anything else.

The website is www.badjawa.com but I'm watning everyone....it is VERY preliminary. Don't get offended!

Thanks.

Oh yeah, the problem only occurs with that site.

on a whois lookup, it says the status is "locked" or "Registrar-locked" what does that mean?


Additionally, you can try this: http://zeta.perfect-dns.com/~badjawa/

Hmmmm...I have no idea...I'll check that out.
Edit: It means that only they can transfer ownership of the site.

Nope, still timed out. Also, I cannot access the site by IP address, which is: 67.15.64.48.

Hmm. go to net-entropy.com click "proxy" at the top, and try that (it's a cgiproxy script)

Same thing happened to me when I ran an FTP server. Try connecting to the IP address of the server that your router is giving it (http://192.168.0.4, for example). I think that's how I got around it.

the site is being hosted, it's not on his own server.

Oh, haha. My mistake. Probably a DNS thing, then.

Thats exactly what I'm thinking, except I can access the site via a proxy and other people can access it no problem....I have no clue what the hell is up.

Alright, I fixed the problem.

Apparently, they had about 30 attempts from my IP to access their FTP site. They saw this as an attack and banned my IP.

Phew! Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
