Hello, all,
I am a member of the Homebuilt CPU web-ring, and a really weird
problem has turned up. The guy who administers the ring, David
Brooks, is in Australia, and uses iinet.net.au as his ISP. All
members of the web ring link to his personal web pages at iinet.
Apparently, due to government censorship or a private war between
iinet and US content providers, iinet or Australia are blocking
access from at least some sites in the US. So, from my work or home
(totally different IPs) I cannot access ANY personal pages at iinet,
but a few general help pages there can be accessed. As far as I can
tell, nobody else in the world is being affected.
Works from western US just fine.
Have you considered using a proxy server? Some may frown on it, but
that's how I've had to access some blocked sites, such as the Olympics
reporting on the Beeb. (Just find a UK anonymous proxy and you're good).
There are lists of proxies on the net that are continuously updated.
FWIW,
Chuck
