Sitrep!
I cannot reach the europrinty server using my computers or iPads
connecting through BT, my ISP.
I CAN reach the server when using a VPN connection or when using the
3/4G connection on two different phones.
Any further thoughts Paul/anyone?
TIA
Looks like BT is blocking europrinty.
_Could_ be BT know (or suspect) something about europrinty.
_Could_ be they (or _somewhere_ in your route to europrinty via BT) is
using a DNS that has a corrupted entry. You could test that by using the
URL with the numeric form instead of europrinty.net in it (if I ping it
now from here, I get that europrinty,net is 148.251.225.179, and it
responds in 27 or 28 ms with a TTL of 53; using two different ping
methods). In other words, if you try
https://147.251.225.179/wp-content/u...21-600x582.jpg .
Try pinging it from where you are - both by name and number.
Tested as you suggested, John.
I, too, now believe that BT is, indeed, blocking the domain.
I was thrown a little off track because I know that 'Apd' uses BT yet he
said it was no problem at HIS home. At that stage I hadn't considered
that he might not be connecting to the site via BT. (How dopey was that?!!)
There's just SO much to remember. When I was first playing with naval
computers in the early 1960s, it was somewhat easier to remember things
- if I recall correctly! ;-)
Thank you for helping, John. :-D
