Cannot access to Sharks lagoon

[garg0yle]

It looks more like an IP restriction. I cannot access from home directly, but can as soon as I VPN into work. Only difference is the source IP.

[shark]

Warning, I am changing the pages address . Start with the index page (http://sharks-lagoon.fr) and not with the home page or other page.

[cowboyblob]

Still can't get on.

[crossy]

neither can i, sorry shark but it still doesnt wanna load.
i dont think its a traffic problem i have been trying for a week almost at all sorts of different times and still get nothing

[Squeeky]

Must be other traffic problems then, I got to:
http://sharks-lagoon.fr/LAGOON/home_files/home.html
via:
http://sharks-lagoon.fr/

I can also get to the home page from the link in forums.

Nothing to do with Sharkey.

[g.roll-steiner]

but what, if garg0yle is right?! what can one do then?
i made the same experiences as cowboyblob by the way...

[shark]

I rebuilt the site, think of reloading your pages

[cowboyblob]

Still nothing, reload or no.

[crossy]

yeah sorry shark via both those links given still cant get to either page reloading several times

[garg0yle]

Shark.. I have contacted Bay Area Internet Solutions (They own the IP associated with sharks-lagoon.fr). They stated there where restrictions in place with the hosts provider and they would need to be contacted to resolve this issue. Here is some of the info I provided them: can connect from 157.142.0.0.. cannot connect from 98.162.0.0..

For those who are not working.. There is a work around. You can use one of the many open proxies available on the Internet. I tried a few and they all worked.. Some are much slower than others.

I don't understand. I have very correct accesses to the site (using Netscape) and it's difficult for me to analyze your problems. is there somebody who connects correctly in Europe or elsewhere?

There's something strange about the site that I've seen mentioned elsewhere. If I click on the Sharks Lagoon link at the top of a page it just goes to the same page again - for instance the underlying link at the top of this page is
http://sharks-lagoon.aceboard.fr/215394 ... agoon.htm#
instead of
http://sharks-lagoon.fr/

@Greebo,

- perhaps you block popup windows
- or javascrïpt/scrïpting is not active

please control your browser options/preferences

Hi,

Just thought I'd give you some more information concerning this, as we are also experiencing the same issue here.

Here's the tracert from my own PC:

==================================================

This means that it's NOT a problem with shark's site.

It is also not a problem with Browser Settings. What seems to be happening is that the site is being blocked as a part of "regional filtering" of some sort, somewhere in between (ip-star.net?).

As was mentioned above, using an anonymous proxy would probably work as a work around. I don't think there's any easy solution except to have the site moved again. (There may be another way, but you'll have to let me see if I can get it to work; I'll get back to you all.)

[Squeeky]

Access hiccups again.

I can get to the forums through:
http://sharks-lagoon.aceboard.fr/i-215394.htm

but:
http://sharks-lagoon.fr/
does not come down. I cannot even get there through Forums as I once was able.

A Firefox utility lets me see some 13 stages to access the server (I see the IP address posted when done) but I cannot establish connection. In all cases that I've noticed there have been some 27+, usually 30 or 40, who are said to be on-line.
