    My IP address is blocked

    Hiya,

    Signed up fro HF yesterday and shortly thereafter, it looks like my home IP address was blocked ... I get white screens when attempting to reach HF from home but no issues from other locations / IP addresses or when I use a proxy site (that uses a different IP address).

    My IP address is 76.192.166.203, can someone help me get this unblocked??

    Thanks!

    That's weird, I've restarted, cleared cache / cookies, etc. but get a white screen when attempting to access ... using a proxy site like hidemyass.com to use a different IP address fixes the issue or going to another location works, right now I'm at home accessing via hidemyass.com but white screen when going directly to site ... is it possible the IP is blocked at the firewall level on your server? I own a web dev company and we typically filter at server level, which produces a similar white screen, but understand VB Forums have some anti spam tools as well but haven't run a VB forum in a few years .... any other thoughts or advice? It immediately white screened when I attempted to register and then I had use a proxy site to access again validate my email address via the email that the site sent me ...

    My guess is error 502 bad gateway. There's most likely an error with one of the gateways from your service provider which I believe is ATT. Do a tracert (windows)/traceroute (linux) to www.hammockforums.net and see where you are being stopped. Most likely they are aware of the issue, but in the off chance contact tech support.

    I used to have comcast during their xfinity rebranding. I would get the same thing from time to time as they upgraded their hardware.

    I had this problem myself before with hammockforums. What I ended up doing was using a different MAC address for the WAN port on my home router and forcing my router to get a new DHCP address. This gave my computers at home a different origin IP address and that "fixed" my white window problem. HTH!

    ping and tracert work if you want to try from there. Tracert hammockforums.net ends at 206.123.103.86. Hop before that is 206.123.103.86
    YMMV

    HYOH

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)

    I am able to ping with no problem, but second hop times out on traceroute (I'm on a Mac):

    traceroute to hammockforums.net (206.123.103.86), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
    1 10.0.1.1 (10.0.1.1) 0.536 ms 0.277 ms 0.170 ms
