Hi all.
Am hoping the more techy of you can help me with a wierd problem.

I cant access anything on the following ip address (http://195.12.48.50)
Basically its my web hosting company. They have another IP address (http://85.92.73.245/) and i can access sites on that no problem.

When I say access I mean I cant view the sites (times out) I cant ftp, I cant access them in any way.

I have converted to static IP address on my system, I have flushed DNS, I have changed to openDNS servers, checked firewall, checked for viruses, spyware etc, I have rebooted hundreds of times over the last week, and nothing....nothing works. I really dont know what else to do.

I contacted the hosting company (wiserhosting) but they didnt offer any useful suggestions.

Could my ISP (Virgin media) be blocking that IP address for some reason?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers all.
Clay.

Hi Clay..
I'm suffering from Virgin Media, but I can connect from here with no problems. The page returns:

This server is: epsilon.wiserhosting.co.uk.

Think back.. have you tried hosting "epsilon.wiserhosting.co.uk" from your own machine at some point? If so, did you edit your hosts file, or set anything in your router to direct traffic destined for this site to your local IP? The only reason for issues that I can think of is that you've created a local loopback at some point and not since removed it.

Try running a traceroute on the IP address ad see where it breaks down.
Type 'tracert 195.12.48.50' at the cmd prompt.

If it stops before getting to the server, then it's a routing issue.
If it doesn't even leave your local system, then....

Here's what I get:

Really appreciate your help.
Actually just got it sorted. Phoned the hosting company again and it turns out they had blocked my IP address for some reason! Random, but sorted now.

Once again thanks loads.
