I think my router is blocked or banned from the Srever?

Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum

Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:

..and have done a HARD reset of the router? this normally means unplugging from the wall sit for 1-2 minutes, then replug back..but check mfg documentation for sure..

you have an old address in the network stack that needs to be flushed..if ipconfig /flushdns didnt work, then it is in the hardware not the software and reset of the router should do the trick.

one other question...is reeffrontiers.com the ONLY address you can view?? can you view other URLs (that is, MSN.com, Wetwebmedia, Aquarium, Pond, Marine and Freshwater Fish, reef tanks, and Aquatics Information, etc.??
 
Ok this is weird, I updated this string this morning and now it's gone, plus i saw my POSTS increase to 117 before i exit. I'm getting a message when the HOME page loads up that say "Your submission could ot be processed because the token has expired. <br/>
<br/>
Please reload the window".
I can get to the HOME page now through my router but if i refresh the page it boots out with a "No page error" I can go all other sites just not RF, so i'm inclined to believe it's not my side but my profile on your Server. help me if you can and thanks.
 
Now thats even weirder!!! once i sent the message above all of the new posts from this morning popped up. I have reset, updated, unplugged, and formatted the router and have log off of the RF site several times. I have Flushed, modified the HOST files and all 3 of my computers including my BB.
 
DTech,

Not to beat a dead horse, but you used these steps to clear your History folder AND Temp Internet Files ?

To clear your cache:
FireFox: Tools > Options > Advanced > Network Tab > Clear cache now
Internet Explorer: Tools > Options > General tab > Browsing History subsection > "delete" button > "delete temporary files" button.

Personally, I would also click Delete History, and Delete cookies. Delete history will remove all sites in cache you have visited in "x" days. Delete cookies removes login information to sites that require cookies, the cookie is easily re-created when you visit the site again.

After this is completed, you MUST close your browser and restart. I would also make sure you type www.reeffrontiers.com on address bar, and then log in to RF with a username and password (at the VBulltien screen). Do not use your favorites/bookmark to log in.

if this does not work, the only other thing I can think of is the IP cache on the ISP side needs to be cleared and unfortunately you would need to call your ISP for them do this.
 
No thanks for all the support:

I had the provider reset their router

Have clear ALL setting in the internet cache and in the Reg.

Once cleared i shut down the internet and have shut down the laptop, remove the battrie and removed the power cord for 12hr. I also removed the power cord from my PC's to ensure that the ram in discharged.
 
You must have something blocking this site, the router seems to be it because you say you can access the site otherwise right? I think it is hung up somehow and not letting go.
 
Man that No Thanks looks bad:tape2: Sorry i'm taking ALL the advice and appling what i can. Please know THANK YOU for all the support.
 
Oh and i figured that since i can purchase $$$$ of Coral and Fish i should just go and purchase a NEW router since i've had this one for 6yrs. I'm not giving up just ensuring that i can keep connectivity and will fix this one and pass it on to someone who needs one.
 
Sorry your having all this hassle Dtech and your not alone their are some others that are having the same kind of problems but it usually goes away after a cache/cookie/history dump.

We have another member, who's unable to access RF, so it's posting on the PSAS forum, seeking help. I've summarized some of the information, from this thread, onto the thread over there. I'm IT illiterate, so would it be possible, for someone who's a lot more helpful than myself, to jump over there and give some advice? Here's that thread. http://thepsas.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1318
 
Ok Sid I have emailed him directly and am working with him. After spending most of the day talking with the server fellow (and sending 200 emails to scott :rolleyes: yea I know you hate me) it turns out that its a type of cache problem. Now yes he has dumped his cache on the internet options but that is just one of a number of caches that are in play apperently, some are in the isp some in other stuff I cant remember??

Anyway I have asked Spllbnd to run a trace for me which I will copy the instructions below if their are others that have this issue. It will help me find where the issue is. So if anyone else is having this issue, this will help me.

Now their is a way to clear all of your caches, but it will also flush any passwords you may have save in your cache also, so if you dont want that to happen then dont do it.

So to clear all caches, click the run box type in command and press enter, this will bring up a dos prompt, then type in ipconfig /flushdns this will clear all caches.

Ok this one is for the trace:
To run traceroute, perform the following steps:
The following steps were created using Windows 2000 Professional.
From the desktop, click Start; click Run.

From the Run dialog box, in the Open text box, enter command. Click OK.

From the DOS window, at the prompt, enter tracert, followed by a space, and then either your domain IP address or your domain name (e.g., www.forexample-domain.com).

Traceroute will tell you how many routers your packets travel through, how long it takes to travel between routers, and if the routers have DNS entries, as well as the names of the routers and their network affiliation and geographic location.
Check for times between hops that are greater than 200 ms or that return asterisks (*), which indicate your request timed out.

Place your mouse pointer in the upper corner of the command prompt screen, then left-click your mouse while while continuing to hold the left mouse key down, drag your pointer to highlight the traceroute information. Right-click the command prompt menu bar, select Edit; click Copy.
If an Edit menu does not appear when you right-click the menu bar, go to How do I enable the command prompt QuickEdit Mode?

From the desktop, click Start, select Programs, then select Accessories. Click Notepad.

From the Edit drop-down menu, click Paste.
The traceroute information can now be saved and/or pasted into the information you submit to Verio Support.

To close the DOS window, enter exit.

Anyway I hope we can get passed this soon as it is getting very old

Latest from spllbnd2

Just gopt off the telephone with my IPS due to the fact that I failed to do a "IPCONFIG /RENEW" after performing the "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS" But even after performing 2 hard reboots using the routers reset button I am still unable to get to reef frontiers website.

At this point it looks like I'll be unable to get into RF anytime soon without having to buy a new router. I have no way of connecting without the router. Phone line comes into the router and the cat 5e cable goes from the router out to the computers and the wifi.

Sorry guys. Guess I'll be out of the games for awhile.

I need a volunteer! Will someone that is having issues click on this link, then click on the "Site Profile" Tab, the website title link. This should force an I.P. to the right place!

Scooty, unfortunately, most people who are experiencing this problem, won't be able to even view this thread, to see what you're asking them to do. I will copy this to the PSAS forum thread, to see if it helps.
