Okay, get this.
I was over at a friend's house and tried to go to www.honestdave.us but
Chrome timed out. Okay, I used IE and it timed out. Odd. I pinged
honestdave.us and the DNS came back with 31.170.163.79 but the test packets
wouldn't come back. I turned off the firewall, Avast, and everything else I
could think of. No dice. I even loaded in safe mode. Still nothing.
Neil's service is with Comcast.
I called my friend Paul who is all-Mac all the time. He's on AT&T. I asked
him to ping honestdave.us and he also got the same IP but no test packets.
And, of course, he couldn't load the web page or any other of the 5 websites
on the servers at 000webhost.com.
I went to the 000webhost.com website and it loaded fine.
Okay, maybe the IP is blacklisted. I did a check that checks against about
50 blacklists, and everything came back okay.
Now I'm home. I went to the 5 websites I control and they load just fine.
I called up Neil and asked him to ping honestdave.us while I simultaneously
pinged honestdave.us. I got 4 return packets averaging 65ms, and he got
timeouts. He couldn't load the page; I could. He's on Comcast and I'm on
Comcast.
Oh, and I tried different DNS servers, though that shouldn't make any
difference given that the pings were resolved to the proper domain names
regardless of whether I used the default Comcast DNS or Google's 8.8.8.8 or
OpenDNS's servers.
I'm totally mystified. I'm in the eastern part of SF while my friends are
in the Mission and Castro districts. But, remember, one is on Comcast and
the other on AT&T.
Other various websites, both bigtime and small local ones such as
monkeybrains.net load just fine.
Does anybody have ANY ideas about what's going on here?
Anybody?
