EvC forum not loading

Hi all,I am currently unable to access this forum from my home PC.
I can remote on to my work PC and access it, but when I use a browser on my own PC I see these messages:
"The server at EvC Forum: Home Page is taking too long to respond." in FireFox
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in IE8As far as I can tell, it is not my anti-virus software (AVS).
By coincidence, I needed to change my AVS, so I have tried it with 2 difference AVS's.Any suggestions?{abe}
I just tried to load the EVC forum on a laptop (using the same wifi connection as my home PC) and it failed to connect too.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

Did your router/modem randomly decide to block access to EvC?Or does it have some separate firewall that EvC got added to the block list on?For thoroughness's sake, do other pages load?

My guess would be a network problem, perhaps a router is down somewhere or a route has been dropped.Since it can be accessed from elsewhere, the problem is likely to be at your ISP or not too far upstream from your ISP.

This has been happening to me too. I'm on Virgin. You?

That is pretty much how it happened.
Straggler and I were mid-conversation in the "Nature's innate intelligence. Does it exist?" thread when my reply wouldn't submit.
When I refreshed, it looked like the site had gone offline.
It was only a couple of days later I tried my work PC and found the forum working. I don't know how to check if it has it's own firewall. I have not encountered any other web-page not loading (when I know it used to).Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

Yes. Virgin Media cable broadband.Is it constantly happening to you?
Have you contacted Virgin about it?

Open a command prompt and do a tracert on evcforum.net then post the results.

I'm getting the same from Chrome ans Safari.When I try from home we use Virgin broadband but it has had the same issues when I'm at work or using 3G on my iPhone.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

I am fairly certain it is not browser related.
I use FireFox at home and at work, but EvC only loads at work.

I'm no good at debugging these types of problems, but my interpretation of the tracert information you provided is that Virgin Media is blocking EvC Forum.Here's the URL for another domain on my server. If you can reach this URL from home but not the EvC Forum URL then it isn't the route to my server that is the problem, but rather that someone is specifically blocking EvC Forum: --Percy

Yes, and no. But I might now that I see they seem to be the problem.Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

Nope.
I can't access that either.

Panda, try and see if you can connect to Evc using the ip addresshttp://209.160.41.193/If so it means the domain namer server for you home service is may be missing entries. I've had this issue before with some websites and it usually gets corrected in a day or so.

Nope. It's been 3 days so far - I'll contact them on Monday if the problem still persists.
