Does anyone know what has happend to this advert site? I know Adam did not have be the best of health a while back.

TIA Bob

[Andy Burns]

still seems to exist with most recent adverts 2 days ago ...

[Bob Minchin]

Thats very strange I've been getting a mix of timeout and 403 errors for the last few weeks. I've just tried a different browser with same result. However forcing my phone to use 4G I can connect ok but not on wifi so I can only conclude that there is some issue with my ISP -virginmedia.

If anyone reading this who is on Virginmedia could try and report back please? TIA Bob

DNS for me resolves to 91.109.4.14, is yours different?

[RobH]

I'm on a VM wired connection, and I can access the said site with no problem. I'm using FF browser if that helps

[Bob Minchin]

Hmm! If I've done it correctly, a ping test to that address gives

C:\Users\latitudeE7240>ping 91.109.4.14

Pinging 91.109.4.14 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out.

Thanks Rob.

A response on the VM community confirms it is working too. Maybe I've been blocked? Bob

I tried it using Zen Internet (via FTTC) without difficulty.

I left Virgin Media some time ago as I was not satisfied with the service.

[Andy Burns]

It replies to pings from plusnet, not that ping is necessarily a good indication of a working web server

[The Natural Philosopher]

works fer me

[Robin]

Works for me from VM with an IP address in the 81.110 range. It may be the site's host is blocking one of VM's other ranges.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Showing good taste then...

Do you have a dynamic or a static IP? Have you tried via VPN?

[Tim+]

Sometimes when I lose access to to site a router reboot restores things. DNS issues? All Greek to me but it?s worth a shot.

Just checked on my VM link with Chrome browser and I can see it.

DNS resolves it to 52.58.78.16

I am using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers.

No problems on Firefox:

[Bob Minchin]

Technically it is dynamic but in practice rarely changes it is from 80.7 series no option to use a vpn

[John Rumm]

I was thinking only from the PoV of a test - if it fails though a VPN, then its unlikely to be a block on your IP.
