If you request a scan against an IP that we cannot ascertain belongs to or is controlled by you, then you need to release the scan so it can proceed.

The release procedure is easy. From the IP you wish scanned, you must TELNET to dslreports.com using any regular telnet client. Windows comes with a native telnet client. To use TELNET from Windows, try Start -> Run -> telnet. Enter dslreports.com as the target to connect.

You will get a prompt asking you for your queue ticket number. Enter the number you received when the scan request was accepted, and press return.

There is no other way to authorize a held scan. Sorry, but we cannot process release requests manually.
