Not technically about programming, so feel free to delete.

Otherwise...

Since randomly last night every time I try to visit www.freehostia.com my browser tries and fails to connect. I've tried various response sites which tell me it's still up. Any idea what the problem could be? I'm using Chrome 5.0 but I'm experiencing the same problem in Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.8. So far this is the only site I'm having the problem with.

Go down the line:

  • Since it's a problem between browsers, it's certainly not a cookie. So that's not it.
  • It could be a DNS cache thing or an IP/DHCP thing. Try rebooting your computer and seeing if that fixes anything.
  • If not, it may also be a network or ISP thing. Go to the library and see if it's working there.
  • If none of those work, try livebooting an Ubuntu install disc to see if it's an OS thing.
  • Maybe, if you're desperate, install Opera and see if it works there.

  • Might wanna add downforeveryoneorjustme.com onto that list. Kind of like going to the library, without the going or the library. :p

  • thanks for your replies. updates: - doesn't work in opera - downforeveryone says it's up: that's what i meant by the rather vague term "response site". - i can get through if i use a proxy

  • If you can use a proxy, it's either being blocked or something's wrong with your DNS. Try running ping freehostia.com from the commandline and post the results here.

  • Ping has started ... PING www.freehostia.com (66.40.66.145): 56 data bytes --- www.freehostia.com ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

  • I got the same IP address when I pinged them, so it's definitely not a DNS problem. Now, try running tracert freehostia.com and posting the results.
