*grin* (thank you for posting to DeviantArt)

I finally poked at my ISP regarding dvandom.com. After poking around for a bit the tech commented that their servers were blocking it. *sigh*
My complaint was escalated, so now I'm waiting on an e-mail from someone higher-up.

Nice to know I'm not the only one having problems with dvandom.com

I'm not sure what's wrong with it, though. From my Verizon FIOS connection I can make a http connection, but the server never responds. But it responds from everywhere else I try.

Which makes me think of some sort of packet filter somewhere. Which is odd.

Are you on Verizon?

The machine is in Australia, I've sent the site admin the URL of this thread.

Yeah, I saw from the traceroute. I can reach the server from Panix, from my linode at Fremont, from a machine in Holland... I can ping it from home, I can traceroute it from home... I just can't get any http traffic from home.

and here it hangs...

Darren's theory is that some spammer managed to get an entire block of IPs onto some banlist, a block including his provider. He'll be physically moving the machine in a few weeks, which will hopefully clear up the problem.

I see pics, now. Did the move happen already? (haven't heard from my ISP)

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

Yep, move happened. Machine was initially put behind a slower modem, so things may load slowly, but they're working on that.

I am on Verizon/Frontier FIOS. Whenever I take my computer elsewhere, I have no difficulties.
