if proxy connection works - who is blocking me: my ISP or the server?

Router log doesn't show anything other than Admin logins, so nothing helpful there. I've tried changing the MTU to 1500 and 1400, no improvement there either.

I'm going to try swapping over the router later today. That way I can eliminate the current router completely and I don't need to factory reset it. If the other router allows the connection to work, then I'll reset the dodgy router.

It always makes me glad that they refer to themselves as 'administrators', (which has connotations more towards management), if they were technicians I'd be ashamed - plus they wouldn't last 10 minutes in a real job.-4wd (October 11, 2010, 08:26 PM)

Speaking as one whose job title actually is Network Administrator, I'd just like to say that I've always found the connotations a bit troubling myself. ;)

Side note if this was a DNS issue you'd either have no target, or the wrong target. Unless it was the hosting companies internal DNS that was borking the Host Header resolution (I have seen that happen). However, given that the site loads with either the FQDN or the IP address it can't be an HH issue.

Try pinging the site (www.head-in-the-clouds.com) ... Now reguardless of if/how it answers if the IP resolve to 98.131.45.219, stop looking at DNS because its job is done. :)

That last hop is across their internal network (whois on IP shows it's a single contiguous block owned by E-Commerce Hosting). This thing has borked routing table written all over it.

So, in layman's speak, is that, "the hosting company is dropping the ball, so get a new one"?

hmm, never thought of that. yes. when i ping the domain it does resolve to that IP. so, i guess, we rule out DNS it seems.

I just set up an account with 'Pingdom' and I believe they load my homepage every minute from a random server. Here are the first few results:
