You could PM your actual IP to a mod / admin and ask them to confirm it is not banned / blocked.

Hmmm, worth a shot I guess.

Can the mods check banned ips?

this sometimes happens to me on a few sites (i.e. 3dkingdom.org) i just have to keep reconnecting my internet until my IP is accepted. Never happened at FST though

Actually just a done a trace route and it seems one of the nodes isnt working (ev1). Its getting lost between there and the final port of call

Seems like a FST problem rather than me

Does that mean it's just a bit of the interweb that is down just now.

Yup, it looks like the road has been closed and no diversion has been set up

So it may sort itself then.

I sent a nice long pm full of info I found out to the admin, but they haven&#39;t read them yet. I will post it here to just in case

Hi Brian,

I have tracked my connection problem to something at your end.

Looks like the problem I&#39;m having with fst is with your webhost. fst.com is the next hop after ivhou-207-218-245-110.ev1.net. unless fst are blocking ip&#39;s at ev1&#39;s router, (seems unlikely an isp would reconfigure their router just because a forum asked them too), then it&#39;s a connectivity problem there. I dont know if you want tof get onto ev1&#39;s techsupp http://my.ev1.net/english/support/

I have done some more digging and I am not the only one affected by this
or indeed is FST

http://www.forumco.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=484

http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/a...p/t-17492.html

The common denominator in all these probs is the ev1 server

I hope this helps and the problem can be resolved, Having to use a proxy to surf this site is really slowing things down.


Thanks


Dan

You chose to give him the details in Greek then

[rookiecrd1]

Actually We are planning to switch to a new server within a few days hopefully. EV1 will be no more.
