It seems like BTC dsl sometimes blocks access to BI and jones sites on occasions. Most of the time I have no problem I can click on my shortcut links and go straight to the page, but sometimes, today being one of them, when I do that the page will not load, the only way I can get here is by using proxy.org
Anyone else have this problem? and is there anything we can do to stop it?

From what I know persons on DSL have probs accessing different websites, COB, Hi5 for example.

Well I'm on DSL and I'm reading this right now. I've never had a problem accessing BI since I found out about it and I only access it when I'm at home.

No Problems here! :sailing:

We haven't been able to access Hi5 for months unless going through a proxy. But have never had a problem with COB. It's just strange that sometimes it's OK and other times it doesn't work.

Now by the way I am able to access BI directly, but still can't get to Jonesbahamas.

I don't think your problem is DSL. I just pulled up Jonesbahamas.com and I'm looking at the headlines "Coalition On Crime". Browsing is fine. COB doesn't have DSL they're on CoralWave. They run a proxy server that I know gives them crazy issues.

If you're at a work place and having issues accessing a certain site, you need to find out from the Administrator of that Network if they're actively blocking certain sites.

No I am at home, and have set up my firewall etc. myself and know that that isn't the problem. As i say it just happens intermittently. (I still can't access jones without going through a proxy though)

I wonder if using dsl from an island rather than Nassau makes a difference though.

Since you set up your Firewall I'll assume you're a lil techy...

Check your DNS Servers. DSL public server is 206.48.0.10. I would set that static on your ethernet/wireless adapter and see what happens. You can also put 172.16.9.101 as the alternate.

Conversely they can try accessing hi5 via host IP http://204.13.51.244.

Although I had some persons try that and it still doenst work. I also had em try statically assigning them other DNS servers like CWs that I know can resolve those names fine.

So that tells me that it wasnt necessarily a name resolution issue (at least in thier cases). But I guess the OP can still try it.

LOL at a lil techy (I teach computer studies for COB and BTVI part-time)

These settings are what I have and have had since I got dsl. I just can't figure out what blocks access to these couple of sites and it's frustrating me.

I tried that link Garnelleo but it doesn't work for me either

Yea, like i say, I am not sure if name resolution is the prob.

If you cant get that them its not a DNS issue.

See if you can ping this 204.13.51.244. If you cant ping that then, that tells you that packet aren't even reaching the website.

I'll also add this, if you cant ping the address, then you can run a trace route on it and see where the packets are timing out. Although I really dont think its anything on your end as other persons complain of the same issue.

Run nslookup on the domain name and also do a trace route to the ip address and see where it's falling off. That would give you an idea of where the problem is.

No I can't ping that

I guess I'm just going to have to go through a proxy when this happens again.

I was just curious as to if other people had the same problem though.

I had the same problem with BTC.. so I switched to cablel bahams.. the service is superior.. the price is not oo bad.. $13.00 for three months... and I guess I will have to remember to call so that I can get the real price...

I told BTC why I am switching.. and they told me that when their system improves, they will call me.. even so.. BTC deVibe works better with Cable..
