Cant seem to access therevival website from home at all. Ive been trying since the weekend but it keeps saying 'Unable to Access' or something like 'The connection reset'. I can access any other website but just not the revival. Im currently at work so obviously the websites not down or anything.
Ive tried it with different browsers (Firefox (my normal browser) and IE) same problem. I then thought it might be problem with my computer, ran a full spyware and anti-virus scane. Still cant access. I then tried a different computer in the house, and that couldnt access the revival website either. Ive tried switching the firewall on and off, but no effect.
Im gonna try bipassing the router when i get home today to see if its something to do with that.
Any other thoughts or ideas would be helpful.
Ah ha so its not just my computer then. I thought my brother might have deliberately blocked this website to get back at me. The only way i can access this site at home is through this site
http://hidemyprivacy.com.
Hope the above helps Seraphim.

Its my computer, so no one else uses it. There are no parental control thingys on it. So its not that. I dont think reseting the computer will work. Bcoz, like i said i also tried a different computer at home (attached to the same network) and that wouldnt access the revival either.
The only other thing they have in common is the router conntecting them both to the internet. So im gonna try bipassing that.
IF NOT... then the only other thing it could be is either server issues or a problem with my ISP.
@Naz: Thanx for the link, ill give it a try and see what happens.

i cant access the revival either. i thought it was just my comps but obviously not. i've been using them proxy sites.
wheres admin!
The problem is with Virgin Media/Cable & Wireless - which A LOT of people use, either directly (in the case of VM) or indirectly (other ISP's buy bandwidth off cable and wireless). In total I would estimate that around 40% of our visitors are being affected by this.
Sky seem to work as an ISP, not tested any others.
I am currently on here via a free VPN system - Hotspot Shield by anchorfree. Can't vouch for their security, but they work (and also give you an american IP so it can get around other tricky services which only work in yankeeland... and it is a simple system which can be turned off when not being used.)
I rang VM - they deny the problem is at their end, but they lie.
It may not be a problem direct with their DNS server, but running tracert, the place where the connection dropped is ***.atlas.cogentco.com, a place where VM is routing their traffic though.
(What was funny though was being accused of sabotaging the site. Something I wopuld totally do, but not this time. :P)

Since they're not willing to admit fault, i guess they're not gonna do anything about it anytime soon.
Is it not possible to access the website via a different server? Other than having to resort to accessing through these websites?

wouldnt creating a static ip fix the problem.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
The website already HAS a static IP address. This ip address is being blocked.
On a awindows machine which cannot access the site, go to the command prompt and type in "tracert therevival.co.uk" - you will see that the ip address is not the problem.

Virgin Media are complete and utter A*******! They amount of times ive kicked off with them over the phone. When i have a problem with the net and i ring them they always say we will not charge you for the phone call but they bill my dad every time. I find that the best tactic that works for me every time is tell them your gonna switch over to sky if they dont solve the problem lol.
Are you suggesting that you thought The Revival would not be under surveillance? Oh the naivety.
It is possible that the site/those involved are not under surveillance, but I would not give it good odds.
This is nothing to do with the law, just a router that VM are using.
PS even other ISP's use VM. They may use the BT line, but then they reroute over the VM networks, so they may also be affected.
And I have to say, VM have been surprisingly... ok. Nothing to worry about.

This reminds me of the time i sent a random text to a friend with the words 'Allahuakbar... jihad... big bada-boom' lol just as a joke and next thing you know my friends bank accounts are being investigated all his purchases are being screened hahaha.
And it didnt help that he just bought books over the internet that were supposedly banned here.

I think I much prefer Hotspot Shield. Even if its a lil slow.
That other link is... inappropriate *ahempornahem*... astagfarullah.

I thought britain had freedom of speech. It must be REALLY dodgy if its banned here.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
i was about to say he bought a harun yahya book but thought against it.

I thnk one of them was a harun yahya book whilst the other was something like how the west are the real terrorists or something like that. It was funny, coz it looked like the bank was carefully going through his account.

Long time no see!

Just to make you aware, I'm subscribed to that, but never received anything.
Me too.

Interesting. (not enough for me to do anything about it, but nevertheless interesting to note.)
The webhosts are hand-over-heart cross-your-fingers honest-to-god promising a solution today. Or tomorrow. Or if not then...

Am I seeing things, or is this suddenly working? (not a proverbial question)
I was *JUST ABOUT* to cough up money with an alternative provider... I had chosen server names, passwords, chosen how to pay and just needed to give the details... it's like they read my mind. I am not sure if I should go ahead now as this service works.
still tempted as while the price is higher, they provide way more memory and supposedly a better service where they transfer everything for me.
confused.
So... should we move hosting? no loss of data, potentially more speed and my otehr projects also potentially have more area to breathe.
I think yay is still a good idea.

Switch virgin media are planning to slow down the connection on purpose in order to get people to cough out more.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
No they are not (they have speed throttling at certain times, but also do increase the speeds from time to time.) - and the problem is NOT me accessing the site - I am smart enough to get round such things, but the other 50% of uk internet users who either are with virgin media or with another ISP that uses the same network.

ok, I went ahead and purchased the hosting package. We will be moving hosts in the near future, just not yet. There should be no dataloss whatsoever, just an outage for a few hours in the middle of a night which most people will not notice.

Seems like they've sorted the problem out.
Im soo glad this is working now. No more using hotshield... it was soo slow.
