Re: Shaw Blocking Websites?!?

Sorry about this post, but I thought I would test it out by simply typing in www.f__k.com.

Sure enough, look what I see.

Are you using any sort of non-Shaw DNS server(such as OpenDNS), or are you routed through anything else, before your cable modem?

No. Not at all. I don't have any filtering software either.

Are you logged in through a proxy? Something set up through your job, perhaps? If not, then I'd seriously suggest you call up Shaw's tech support and talk with them. They have a lot more tools available.

Also, could you run a tracert to the website and post the results? I'd be interested in seeing if there's something odd in the routing.
