There's absolutely a problem, either in the code or with the host.

Folks, ASF's host has asked that everyone who cannot access ASF please run a traceroute to see if they are actually getting to ASF.
If you have a Windows based PC or laptop please do the following:
1. Click the "Start" button
2. Type "cmd" in the "Search programs and files" box and hit "Enter". A box will then pop up on your screen with a text prompt.
3. At the prompt type "tracert aussiestockforums.com" and hit "Enter".
The traceroute will then run and every hop will be recorded on the screen. It will look something like this example:
If the last hop listed in the traceroute is not "aussiestockforums.com [64.6.111.131]" then you are not getting to ASF and the problem is most likely a DNS issue or a network error.
It would be appreciated if those who do the traceroute could post a screenshot.
Many thanks for your assistance!

Everything is working perfectly via Auaracom and AA Web Express in Toronto and o2 and AOL UK ISPs. I understand very many Canadians visit the ASF Home page for first news on Australia and Asia.

And for macs?

When I was overseas recently in Asia using an ADSL line in the country I could view ASF but when I viewed via a mobile 3G data network ASF was definitely blocked for the entire 2 weeks.
Just curious, do you block some IP addresses? I doubt it would have been the mobile network.
Edit: BTW, no idea what the IP address was, I'm back home

traceroute is on macs as well. The easiest way i know is using the terminal (Apps->Utilities->Terminal). The rest is the same.
For people having DNS problems, just enter the IP address (64.6.111.131) into the address the bar of your browser. Might help.

Bingo
If that is the issue, it maybe that the firewall is blocking DNS queries. It will work for certain ISP's but not for others as DNS results are cached. Likely Aussie ISP's have this address cached.
Try typing the IP address 64.6.111.131 into the address bar. If this is the issue, it may be a temporary fix.

You take the screwdriver in your left hand. Then you take the hammer in your right.
Stand back from the computer.
Light a Winfield.
Walk further back to the backdoor.
Then ignite the wick leading from the backdoor to the IED attached to your computer, with the Winfield.
Go down to your shed and do some useful work with the screwdriver and hammer.
Wait for a noise, reassure the neighbours and claim a new computer off your household insurance.

Here you go Joe.
Just fyi, as I'm not having any ASF access problems. Traceroute from PC (Windows XP) via Sydney Telstra and Telstra Global. It did 19 hops, landing at [64.6.111.130]. Direct typing the IP into the address bar worked for me as well.

To clarify, that's when entering IP address 64.6.111.131.
When entering IP 64.6.111.130, it returns the message 'Apache is functioning normally'.

Joe, when I could not open this site yesterday and this morning, on those occasions I also could NOT connect to your www.downunderindex.com
Now that I can open ASF I can also connect to your www.downunderindex.com. Combine that with my previous posts about pinging various packet sizes and it is definitely a server problem at your end. Pinging and traceroute do work, they use only very small packet sizes which apparently your server will allow in.
Cheers

Investigations into this issue are continuing. I will post again in this thread when I know more.
Boggo, I get that error message on Tapatalk as well when the internet connection drops out or there are connection issues.

It works maybe 30% of the time when away from home but never has an issue on the home WiFi using TapaTalk.
The same behaviour exists when using Safari browser, ie problem with both always coincide, see link below.
Early in the mornings (5am to 6am etc) it seems to mostly work much better than later in the day ?

Received when posting a reply to arruga on the "Margin loan under my wife's name - help" thread, just now.
I thought it might have won me a Nobel Prize, or at the very least an Ignoble.

Joe not sure if you have changed anything but I have now changed to "Compatibility View" for all websites and ASF now loads. When I change this back to standard view ASF won't load.
Interestingly I did this using Windows 7 when I first highlighted this problem to you a few months ago. Compatibility View made no difference and still could not connect.
Now using Windows 8 Professional and working fine...today anyway
I don't have much (if any) faith in the crap Indonesian internet system. Especially the so called number one provider Telkomsel the Telstra equivalent here, they are downright hopeless to state the least. They promote (boast) a "Telkomsel Flash" internet speed of "Up to 7.1mps" ....nobody but nobody can get that speed with it recorded as a max of 600kps at it's best and normal is ~450kps
It was funny though when the Indonesian president Bambang was conducting a live international TV telecast self promotion of the good he was doing via Telkomsel late in 2011, it cut out part way through. The president continued on unknowing that the system had dropped out. The carry on after that was as if he was the only one this ever happened to and the first time ever. Laughable as this is the daily norm here and has been for years and remains so, despite his toothless tantrum. It remains unchanged...and Tsel is only the tip of the iceberg of useless ISP's here. Aus people would be up in arms if it was like this in Aus.
An expat here once said it would be faster sending a carrier pigeon with a note than sending an sms...it would be funny if it wasn't so close to the mark.
But for now Joe all working fine.
