Logging In.

I'm in Australia & log in every day (usually) for about the past 2 years no probs. Great Site.
For about the past 2-3 weeks, I can only seem to be able to connect & log in every other day & it's becoming a PITA. Is there a problem others are having?

Cheers, Ando.

Do you mean -

a. you cannot connect to http://brianenos.com

b. you can connect to http://brianenos.com/forums, but you cannot log into the forums?

If it's "a" the problem is usually with your ISP - something in their Nameservers is working properly. Usually those issues fix themselves in a week or two. But if the problem persists you might contact your ISP and ask them if they are having an issues with their Nameservers that might be causing you not to connect to BrianEnos.com.

Brian,
thanks mate for a quick response.

a. you cannot connect to http://brianenos.com

Attempting to connect to brianenos.com fails, I tried to sneak in through Henning Walgrens site, but no luck. Today is a great day, I have good connection.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my query mate, obviously all is well your end, I'll do my part here. Great Site & I miss not having easy access currently.

Cheers, Ando.

The problem is definitely within your ISP's network.

I could not ping your IP address either from within the server, or from my computer.

And a traceroute to your IP, from the server and my computer, times out at the same place:

If you provide your ISP with that info, they should able to fix it for you.

Also, I ran a whois on the timed out IP address and got this (which also might be helpful) -
