DailyMotion inaccessible?

I can't seem to connect to dailymotion.com. Are they blocking Canada? I've tried with several browsers on several machines and different ISPs (Teksavvy in Toronto, iWeb in Montreal).

Does anyone know what's going on?

I can get there in IGS (3web cybersurf)

What operating system are you using?

The only that's in common is that all my connections go through a Linux box at some point. But this is strange.

Mac at the moment, but used one of my Linux boxes to check and it is fine too. OS would not make a difference. It is probably a DNS issue. I use 4.2.2.1, .2, and .3

I have had the same issues accessing DailyMotion, using Teksavvy. I have done some troubleshooting and had interesting results which I will post later (when I am at home). I have no solution so far.

It pings no problem. If I go to »www.dailymotion.com, it redirects to »www.dailymotion.com/ca and the server never responds.

Everything pings fine.

For me it goes to »www.dailymotion.com/ca-en and loads fine.

Looks like they fixed it!

I wasn't able to access it for at least a week.

Yup, it's fixed. I'm able to access it now.

Yep looks fixed.

FWIW I did some troubleshooting. Pings and traceroutes worked fine. I could even telnet to port 80, it would just hang and not reply to my request.

Through ping I determined that the maximum packet size before packets got lost was 302 bytes (274 bytes + header for ping). That size or below, I got ping replied fine. Anything above, the replies got lost along the way.

The minimum MTU possible on Tomato is 576 (and that is supposed to be the minimum for routers too). 302 was not possible, and that's where I was left. Now it works again.

Transient network issues. Wee.

They recently made some upstream provider changes which could have caused this.... not sure but quite possible.
