396645 2005-10-15 19:41:00 I am having a strange problem with one particular website, in that I am able to connect to it using dialup but not with broadband, this has only started over the last week, prior to this I was able to connect via broadband, this is using the same computer for dialup or broadband, I have even tried a different computer & ADSL modem with the same results. This is the only site that I have trouble connecting to. The site is www.goldenbearsden.com .

Any suggestions ?

Can't think of what the problem would be. What ISP are you using (for your broadband). I'm with Xtra, so it may be their fault. Or if this occurs with different broadband providors, then it's the sites problem. You could try emailing them, to save time switching to dial up you could use Googles cache of the site;

64.233.187.104

396647 2005-10-15 20:29:00 Thanks, I'm with XTRA for broadband & dialup, went to a friends yesterday & was able to connect using Clearnet dialup, thats what made me try Xtra dialup when I came home. Have contacted the webmaster of the site ( who I know) and he said nobody else seems to be having problem connecting, have emailed XTRA Helpdesk so we will see what they suggest, I thought it may be a DNS server problem.

396650 2005-10-15 21:20:00 I get a "page not found" using Xtra broadband.

Its possible a resurgence of "bogon IPs"? where recently released IP address ranges are not yet recognised by all DNS servers I wonder.

Powering down and powering up your router may give a new IP address (just as dial-up connection does) which may prove that (provided you do get a different address allocated each time)

396651 2005-10-15 21:24:00 Thanks guys, really weird, had a reply from XTRA, said to reset Internet zone settings , cookie settings and advanced settings to default, which I did but still no change KiwiBJ (9080)
396652 2005-10-15 21:35:00 I can't get there either (Xtra broadband); I have one of those infamous 222.xxx.xxx.xxx IPs at the moment. whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com) wuppo (41)
396653 2005-10-15 21:40:00 Thanks godfather, I powered down my router & power up , recieved a different IP both in the 222.152.xxx.xxx range, the IP address of the problem site is 199.2.132.14 ( comes up with tracert), which I can't reach just using the IP. KiwiBJ (9080)

What's infamous about these IP addresses - as I appear to be using one at present (thanks for the link).
