410439 2005-12-05 17:29:00 What would be stopping viewers living outside the USA from viewing a web site based in the USA?

http://www.motorcityslotcars.com/ or 216.185.51.82

410443 2005-12-06 03:35:00 Hello Zippity, are you trying to figure out a way to prevent non-USA-based IP addresses to access the website? Or are you asking us if we could access it from New Zealand?

Cheers :)

410444 2005-12-06 04:19:00 Probably another case of the "bogon 222.x.x.x" IP addresses.

I have one and cannot access the site.

The issue has been around a while, one would have thgought it would have been fixed.

410445 2005-12-06 04:35:00 on thing to consider, some servers limit international bandwidth. you can access it at full speed if your local but due to bandwidth limiting and large amount of users it may not be accessable to people in other locals. tweak'e (69)
410446 2005-12-06 08:59:00 James,

I'm bitchin' coz I cannot access the US based website from NZ :(:(

USA based slot racers thought I was nuts for claiming that overseas viewers couldn't access the web page. They tried telling me it was either my PC or ISP that was at fault.

Seems the US based ISP has placed a viewing limit on the pages they host - weird!!

410447 2005-12-06 09:52:00 If DanielF can access it from a NZ ISP thats unlikely to be the case, if you read the posts above.

Was my explanation too simple to be a possibility?

What is your IP address?
Visit

to find out. If it starts with 222, then consider my explanation.

410448 2005-12-06 09:54:00 Hmmm, on both Xtra dial-up and broadband, I and my friend can't access it either. I can't figure out why.

Cheers :)
