Pocketplane down ?

[Salk]

Hello!

 

Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong Forum but after going through all of them I thought this place might fit the most.

 

I have tried visiting Pocketplane webside/forum for four days now and the server is always down.

 

Does anybody know anything about this ?

 

Thanks!

PPG Forum works good for me, no problems.

Same here, no problems accessing PPG... and I just looked up a number of things there to edit my compatibility post.

 

Maybe they banned your IP address? (Heh, just kidding... )

Banned for being too enthusiastic and visiting PPG too much.

 

I seem to have no problems either, but what I do know is that BWL is intermittently down.

After four days of 404 error, I got it back working today...Since you guys said that it was fine on your ends it must have been some problems of mine although I don't think they'd ban me...

They don't seem to like me either. I keep getting "Cannot find server".

[Wounded_Lion]

Just to check the basics: Do you have the correct address?

I have this problem too. Perhaps the host is more accessible to certain global servers and less accessible to others?

That's entirely possible. The Wizard's Mirror works that way.

 

Has anyone raised this on PPG? If not I'll do so for the people who can't access it. Only once was I not able to access it, and maybe they were rebooting or something because it came right up the next minute.

Typically a traceroute (tracert, for Windows users) can help indicate where a connection is breaking down. But yes, the site has generally been up--certainly not down for four days. However, it's always possible that behind the scenes the server operators have taken some sort of action that bans certain ranges of IPs so if you continue to have trouble, PM me the result of your traceroute here and I'll see if it's something on our end.

I've just recently (within the past few days) noticed some latency on PPG myself. The site will be unavailable for several minutes then come up, sort of on and off. Of course it's fine now and I didn't think to run a traceroute the last time it happened. I'll try to do so if it happens again (though I get a 'icmp socket: Operation not permitted' but I guess that just means I have to allow the traffic through my firewall).

@jcompton - Traceroute PMed. It appears to be getting bottlenecked in a few different places.

[jcompton]

Anybody else who cannot reach PPG ever, please PM me a traceroute. It's possible that your IP range is being blocked for some reason which only makes sense to server operators and that I can have it corrected--that's actually been the case for one person already.

 

(tracert pocketplane.net at a Command Prompt window will do.)

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

O_o

It's just the forums that are down--the main site is still up.
