Odd website problem
« on: October 01, 2011, 12:38:35 am »

For some reason I can no longer get to the El Goonish Shive website from home. I always a get a request timed out error. Checking from work is fine, though, so it's obviously something to do with my home computer or network.

Anyone have any idea what the issue might be? I haven't change anything about my internet since this started happening, as far as I know.

That's a shame, great comic...  Browser catch, maybe?  Screenshot the error message and maybe that'll help us laugh at your pain?

Might be your isp.
I had a simular issue with a bunch of websites a few years back. used traceroute to identify the problem and it ended somewhere on my isp routers.
Though if that's the case, only thing you can do is hope your isp fixes it...

Well they fixed it here after a few months...
I tried to contact them when the problem occured but the only person I could speak to was, of course, a commercial. And these people don't even know what a router is...

I tried a traceroute, but it just times out after going through my router. So...hard to say. Does sound kind of like the ISP, though.

Annoying, to say the least.

Get a proxy and try to mirror through it.
