Kinch Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hey all, Whenever I try to access any page on Arnies Airsoft I get a message saygin "this site has been blocked. Please contact your service provider for information". I get my 2MB broadband through NTL in the UK. Is anyone else having an issue with being blocked from other service providers? I can access the site from work with no problems. --- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmypie Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I had this last night , i too am on a 2mb but through wanadoo, i just disconnected for an hour or so and after that it seemed to be fine. Very odd though....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bez Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 i've had problems like this in the past with some website! you need to find your local ntl server proxy: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/forum/article.php?a=10 have a look here. i think yoiu need to find the nearest to you and enter that in the proxy address in your internet settings!

garry Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm on 2mb AOL and last night it came up with "site disabled" from about 9pm until I went to bed at midnight. I'm at work now, so still don't know if it will be working when I get home. Dark forces at work........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spedz Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 It's not the cnnection as such I'm on ntl (although at a lower 1mbs bandwidth) So I think it's more to do with the server then anything else. Although I maybe wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richie_j Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 if you go to www./...../forums, it comes up, just not the main page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moriquende Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm having this problem with my 2mbit connection, how do you fix this? Although, I can easily go around the problem by adding " /?go=home " to the address Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R22Master Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hmmmm, how odd. If you are actually getting messages saying that this site has been blocked, it is most likely your ISP (Internet Service Provider) that has somehow deemed this site to be "bad" Talk to your ISP and ask them if this URL is on some kind of "Banned" list on their servers. If it is, explain to them that you want to view it and that there is no legal reason why they should stop you from viewing content. A threat to move to another ISP sometimes helps too Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spedz Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Like I have explained though I am using the same ISP as kinch but yet I can view all the pages with out any pages being 'blocked' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Very very odd. Well, there is no facility built in to this site that can give you a "blocked" message, so it is either your ISP, or a conduit server between your ISP and this server that is denying you access. First port of call should definitely be your ISP. If they know nothing about it, you can always trace your route through to this server to find out other possibilities that may be blocking content for whatever reason ("tracert" in MSDOS). Very very odd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spedz Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Heres an idea what about those 3rd party website blockers? I mean I don't know much but maybe some one on your wn computer is blocking you from this on purpose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Yes, that is entirely possible. Have affected users checked to make sure that there are no "content filters" installed on their PCs? That would explain it as some work from a hotlist of banned / unsuitable sites, and others just block any site that mentions words like "adult", "sex", or "gun", etc... If there is no such software on the PC you are using though, it is likely to be a blocker either operated by your ISP, or somewhere in the link between the ISP and this site. Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 If your using Internet explorer.....go to "tools", "internet options" and click on the privacy tab. There is a little click and drag thing like a scroll bar that is the level of privacy and blocking that you want. If it is set to medium or lower then you should be fine. I don't know if higher blockes it though. I dont' wawnt to find out. hope you get it fixed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
