| 1139405 | 2010-09-24 22:21:00 | The site loads in about 1 second here. 9.15am Saturday. Try this -- Open a command prompt. Type in ping www.jinnybeyer.com <press Enter> does the site reply ? What ever it does, then type in ping 67.19.224.233 <Press Enter> does it reply ( thats the sites address) -- you should get similar to This here (www.imagef1.net.nz). IF the pings are working but the normal browser isn't there could be something not rendering the site name correctly. |

| 1139406 | 2010-09-24 22:44:00 | 1. Pinging www.jinnybeyer.com works fine, with replies in 180-189 ms 2. Pinging 67.19.224.233 is also fine, with replies in 179-201 ms. 4 packets sent and received in both cases. Site rendering is a new concept for me, I'll have to read up on it. Thanks - very helpful. |

| 1139407 | 2010-09-25 03:19:00 | The term rendering may be the wrong term, What I mean is when you type in the actual name of the site it is converted to a web IP address by a DNS (domain name server) to something a Computer can actually read. A computer cant read jinnybeyer.com, but it can read its IP Address. Try this, open your browser, type in http://67.19.224.233 press enter, does the site load ? |

| 1139408 | 2010-09-25 04:19:00 | Tried the jinnybeyer site just now (3:15pm) with IE8. It did not connect. The Win7 diagnostic says "website (www.jinnybeyer.com) is online but not responding to connections on port 80" I'm with Telstra (cable) |

| 1139409 | 2010-09-25 04:44:00 | Just checked that site on T/C cable in Wellington - works fine for me. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1139410 | 2010-09-25 04:52:00 | Well I just checked again. Still wouldn't connect. Same diagnostic. Also said no problem with (my) firewall | BBCmicro (15761) | ||

But so now does the direct address www.jinnybeyer.com. Thanks everyone for your help, I think the cause may remain a mystery. From the randomness involved, it sort of sounds like a problem offshore. Thanks again, I really appreciate it Cheers |

| 1139412 | 2010-09-25 09:51:00 | Just to confirm its not just you, I had the same problem with US based sites for most of the day with Telstra cable in Wellington, it appeared to come right about 1600 hours. | tutaenui (1724) | ||
| 1139413 | 2010-09-25 22:53:00 | I agree that something seems to been going on, but I doubt that it was TelstraClear. I found various US sites seemed to be unreachable, as others have described, and this situation appears to have existed since at least Friday. Other sites loaded without any problem. My wife could not access Arts & Letters Daily on Friday, nor could I. Yesterday (Saturday) she appeared to open A & L through a link from a different site, but the date showing on the page was Thursday - presumably the page she opened was cached on a different server. Yesterday afternoon the problem disappeared and everything seems back to normal. |

When going to any web site, you can go through quite a few different servers before you actually get to where you want to go. The request to open a certain web page, doesn't always go through the same servers for everyone. And the request doesn't always take the shortest route. |
