Can't access 250free.com

[chigger2]

Anyone else have this problem with this site?  Got a solution?  Been using it for over three years, now can't get there.

[dslr595148]

No problem here.

More importantly, where are you located network address-wise. First two octets of your IP address. It's been a while since there have been problems reported reaching sites. A year or more ago, such problems were often related to new address blocks put into service. VZ has gotten better at notifying other providers, I guess.

To rule out a DNS problem, see if you can get there from here. http://69.167.135.37/

Also, try a traceroute to the same address.

Thanks so much.  I can now reach the http://69.167.135.37/
but it will not let me sign in using my  user ID and password.     

Where would I find first two octets of my  IP address?

It won't let me sign in to my site at      carolynann.250free.com

Any suggestions?  Thanks for getting me this far.

#1 Go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

#2 Since there is more than one IP Address on that page, the first two octets of the IP Address that is below the text that says The text below might uniquely identify you on the Internet.

#3 For example, if your IP Address was 208.74.204.259, then 208.74 would be the answer to the question.

#1 Please post a tracert
From a command prompt:
TRACERT 69.167.135.37

#2 If that looks reasonable, then try
TRACERT 250free.com

#3

Let's eliminate a dirty dns cache on your system. Open a command prompt window as admin. [Assuming Vista or Win7: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt, right click and Run as Administrator]
Enter at C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /flushdns [Maybe C:\>]

This seemed to work fine on the  the IP address

This didn't do anything

I couldn't get this to work using either    C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig/flushdns

or C:\

To be honest, what I have on 250Free is storage for streaming all my applet class/jar files for applets, IFrame Applets (including for my personal web site at:  http://www.carolynann.us/Applets.htm  )    a few wavs and all my eot files for streaming

It worked wonderfully for 3 years and I really hate to give it up.

You may be able to see the applet pages, but I can not.

That is not the first two octets of your public IP, try again following my directions to get what it is.

That is strange:

#1 Note(s) about my route to that host:

a) For hop 1, 2, 3, and 4 - I decied not to post the full DNS name of those hops or IP Address(es).

b) Where 71.242 is the first two octets of my Static WAN Default Gateway and Static IP begins with those same first two octets - and I decied not to post that info.

Ok, moving along..

#2 When I use the DNS Tester that is addressed on http://www.grc.com/dns/operation.htm the DNS Servers that my computer are using, are showing up as green dot(s).

#3 Are the DNS Servers that your computer are showing up as, Orange dot(s), according to that tool?

[chigger2]

According to the DNSBenchmark application, things seem to be running fine.  Most dots are green with a few orange (gold), and states I am getting responses for most look ups.

My modem/router is a   Westell VersaLink 327w

How will this info help get me in to my site at   carolynann.250free.com?

I still think it is Verizon blocking my site on my machine.  Others can see my streamed applets as long as they aren't using Verizon for their isp
