Getting On Forums [re-opened]

[robocz033 0]

My friend, tramposch, is not able to get on the forums, lite or full version, or for that matter any part of the Xisto website. does any1 know what is wrong?

there could be several problems. It could be a filter issue, perhaps the network admin filtered forums/Xisto. It could also be that someone messed with the "hosts" file (though unlikely). To check, you should ping Xisto with the command prompt and report what IP addres it gives for the site.

If he cannot get result from ping command, it is because ISP is either blocking or clearing cache. If he can ping but cannot access Xisto forum, his IP is blocked by Xisto firewall--not through the forum block. The possible reasons for IP block are stated above (attempting to access Xisto, hosting, and caused red flag of abuse).But I can see that Tamposch just made a post. The issue is no longer relevant.Case re-opened.

the reason he could do that is because he is going through a proxy, meaning it has something to do with his ip.
