Not being able to load amiga.org from home?

[Dragster]

Hello folks,

   I didn't find a proper forum to post this, so I hope this is the least-far from my topic.

before asking my ISP about this problem I wanted to ask first here. My problem is that I can't load Amiga.org's page from home, not with the PC nor with the Amiga, it always times out :-( I'm at work right now. Is there something I can do from my side to try to fix this? I got an ADSL line... a friend of ine who has a PC (and it's connected with the same ISP) has the same problem.. just wondering if there's something to do on the amiga.org's side or my own config side.

BTW, other sites , services, ftp, etc.. everything works just fine... weird.

cheers

Well , that could indicate a possible problem on Amiga.or's side. I hope the site admins try to look for a possible problem... it's annoying not being able to "stay in touch" with the community.. I knkow there aer other sites, etc.. but Amiga.org's in my top list.

regards,

D.

Strange... this is starting to appear as a problem on Amiga.org's.. site admins help please?  :-)

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies everybody.

 I tried it again last night and I'm still unable to load
the page. I'll contact my ISP about this problem. Hopefully they can do something about it.

thanks!

Thanks @Seer

Your friend could try something.. I don't know if Amiga has the same commands ?

Yeah, it has them...

If he opens a console (dos box, got to start -> run and type cmd) then he can try this command;

Ping www.amiga.org

or

tracert www.amiga.org

If the first one doesn't work and gives an error "request timed out" then tracert wil show where the time out occurs.

He and me can do that but we have to unblock ping returns from the ADSL modem/router.

If the first one gives the error "could not find host" or something with a dns failure, it's a problem with your providers DNS servers (or both you and your friend have set an incorrect DNS entry, but that would give more problems)

er.. no, this is not the case as the ADSL modem automatically detects the dns/ip configuration.. you don't have to mess with that.

a traceroute output could give us an idea of what's happening.. thanks 4 the advise.
