We don't block anything.

Can anyone else on teksavvy access the site? (it is NWS so heads up).

said by DabberDan :

To be precise, majorly NSFW (a trained eye looking for NSFW will mostlikely miss NWS...

said by DabberDan :

I'm currently at work thus NOT a good idea! LOL

said by R0CKY :

Just tried it from our office connection (over LAN connection however), but it's over our IPs... Thinking it might be your firewall or system security as a hunch.

said by TSI Steve :

Hmm.. I am watching several videos from redtube.com right now, from the office. Seems to work great, especially since we have a 100Mbps link!

Errr No sorry, I am not watching. I am working very hard and concentrating on support mail and DSLreports, and quality assurance. Seriously. I am not watching pr0n from the office. ALTF4 ALTF4

said by DjEclipse :

Well it was mandatory porn watching since a TSi client had issues accessing the sits. Therefore you had no choice but to do some tek support work and investigate this very important matter.

You were just doing your job You're welcome guys :P

said by DjEclipse :

I know you don't block anything, is there a way that they may be blocking access form teksavvy IP's?

Or is it Bell in any way?

Having worked for an unnamed pr0n company recently, try looking at your windows hosts file. Many spyware/AV etc type programs null route a bunch of hosts that way.

said by DjEclipse :

Hosts file? Where/ what is that? What am I looking for?

said by CanerisErik :

Windows: %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Linux and Unix derivatives: /etc/hosts

edit: "What am I looking for?", typically it should not have anything there other than one line like
127.0.0.1 localhost

said by DjEclipse :

Another dumb question that shows my truel lack of computer skills.... where/ how do I find the %windir% directory? Is it the same if i use firefox?

said by CanerisErik :

Almost always it's c:\windows. You can just paste what I posted into Start-->Run.

said by Dj Eclipse :

There are a few things in there, two hosts.(numbers here)backup files, a few other files and a "SAM" file lmhosts.sam

said by CanerisErik :

You want just the one named "hosts", with no extension or any other suffix.

said by DjEclipse :

Do I delete the rest from that folder? What are those files anyway?

said by CanerisErik :

No! You need those. Don't worry about those. Just post what you have in "hosts" if it's more than one line.

said by DjEclipse :

Ok, I see what you are saying. Do i open it up with notepad to see what is in that file?

said by CanerisErik :

Yes

said by Guspaz :

The hosts files takes a list of host names and lets you assign IP addresses to them.

This overrides the "real" IP address of the site that you'd get from a DNS server.

The first line is just an alias, so you don't have to type 127.0.0.1. You can type "localhost" and have it work. This is the IP address that will always point to the local machine no matter what IP it has.

Programs like SpyBot will put fake entries into this file to effectively block you from using the domain in question. They do this to block sites known to distribute malware and such.

If you remove it from the hosts list, you will be able to access it, but be warned that SpyBot seems to think that redtube distributes malware (spyware/viruses/adware/etc).
