Unable to access lifein19x19.com
Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 7:46 pm
Hey,
In a severe lapse of judgement, I changed some kind windows security option yesterday (which may or may not even be related to this issue), without making a note of what I was doing. Now I kind of miscellaneously cannot access lifein19x19.com. I think chef was citing a similar problem a while ago. I can ping and tracert to lifein19x19.com (ping time, 193ms), tracert last hop looks like
17 190 ms 191 ms 190 ms p3nlhg46c086.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net [173 .201.93.128]
If I try to access http://lifein19x19.com , nothing loads. If I try to access http://173.201.93.128/ it calls the page "default.secureserver.net", the words "Sorry! This site is not currently available." appear but the page never finishes loading.
I have disabled windows firewall. I have trend micro internet security (still enabled, medium).
I am accessing it fine now through some random web-based proxy (anonymouse.org <- is this safe? Am I making a series of terrible mistakes?).
Esoterically - My internet was down last night. Yesterday the site was working fine. I don't know any details about this. My ISP is Snap.net.nz. A second computer on my home network is also not able to access lifein19x19.com, both across several browsers (firefox, chrome, iron, internet explorer). Some other websites also do not work but I have not noticed a consistent trend.
I don't know anything about computers. Have I got a virus ? Any idea what this problem could be or how I could find out more about it ?
Edit: It seems this is probably my ISPs issue. NZ internet has been becoming progressively more troubled lately. I am still curious whether there is a technical aspect of this website and/or its hosting that might be contributing to this problem.
