Can't connect to ONE particular website.

Everything was working fine Sunday. On Monday, I could not connect to www.rwgforum.com from home. I had my work laptop VPN'd into my company's network, and I could access the site from there, but not from any of the 5 computers I have at home. I even tried booting one of my laptops into a fresh install of Ubuntu Linux, and couldn't connect.

I did an nslookup of the site and get a "Non-authoritative answer:": IP address = 217.23.x.xxx

I tried to ping, but go no response.

Tracert dies - can't find the site.

All other sites work, and I can get to it from my office, but not home, and the same computer running the same browser can access the site when I am VPN'd to my office network, but now when connected to my home VERIZON FIOS network, so it's not a problem with my computer.

Any suggestions?

do a traceroute to the site, post the results here.

Here's what I get from a tracert.

Tracing route to rwg.cc [217.23.1.128]

Trace complete.

I also tried changing my DNS servers to the ones provided by OpenDNS, but still didn't work.

give us a trace to rwgforum.com

the rwg.cc moved so i don't know what they are doing with that domain.

Tried it. Looks like I can't get there too and is being blocked by Verizon. Used a web proxy and went in just fine.

I called Verizon and had them break/renew the lease on my router. It downloaded a new IP address, but still in the 173.x.x.x range. I still can't get to that site. I called my neighbors across the street (also on FIOS), and they can't get to it either. Sounds like the site may be blocking Verizon?? I'm stumped.

I can still get to it through a proxy.

krbarnes ,Hubrisnxs is correct it seems like the website you are trying to access is blocking the 173.x.x.x subnet. You can goto Network-Tools.com & do a Network Lookup on the web address & it should give you an email address to an admin. Just send them over an email to update their filters to allow the 173.x.x.x.

How do you get a proxy server or change your address
