Blocked website

Hi I am new here but I had my AT&T U-Verse installed yesterday. My favorite website is a forum that is run out of Canada. I go to the site several time daily. Now that I have switched providers I can no longer reach the website.

I tried different browsers, even a different computer in my house that was on the same internet and none of them would allow the page to open. I contacted the Forum administrator (she is a friend) and she said there were no issues going on with the actual forum. I jumped on my smart phone and was able to access the site with my 3g but still had no luck via my new internet.

When I talked to AT&T last night they assured me they don't block any websites and that it must be my firewall on my pc. I turned that off and tried again and still had no luck. Does anyone here have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?

That is the website, as you can see, nothing illegal about it. Could it be because of the .ca on it?

I just tried pinging the website (I'm on Uverse too), and I get the message "No reply from host".

That is exactly the issue I am having and never had before. I can get to it via any internet connect BUT my new U-Verse connection. I had the forum admins double check things at their end for me but everything is up to par with them. Has anyone heard of this happening with U-Verse before?

It works on my work backup connection which is a CLEC that Comcast purchased a few years ago (CIMCO).

However, my primary work Internet connection who our ISP uses is AT&T (not Uverse) and I cannot ping it there.

Might be an issue with AT&T's DNS -- try switching your DNS settings to some of the free ones, like 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 -- and see if you can reach the site then.

Not DNS, I did nslookups on both my systems and got the same number. There is a bad route somewhere.

So what do you guys suggest I do? I see that the error is being caused by packets not going through but if they seem to go through with other web providers. Do you think by letting AT&T know that this is happening they can fix it or is it going to be something I need to acquire a work around for?

Bullwhip, what did you do to have the packets all go through? Was that with AT&T?

I don't know if they will do anything. The support person was telling the truth, it isn't "blocked" it just has no route to it. Bullwhip was on a different network when that traceroute was run.

Yes. That was done from network-tools servers to rottweilerconnection.ca
All my pings and tracert from at&t gets timed out. I figure something is going on with 12.83.72.137 or one of the routers up north. Network-tools.com can't ping or tracert 12.83.72.137. It might be miss configured or something.

Has it gotten resolved yet? Even on a business account it's hard/next to impossible convincing AT&T they have something miss-configured.

We had something similar happen on one of our corporate lines. It took days to convince AT&T to even look and acknowledge it was their problem. This was for a $$$$ dedicated enterprise line.

The problem is the people you can contact don't have the knowledge to understand the problem.

Explain to them that you have had others test it from different points in their network and it is system wide. Some of up do this for a living.

FWIW, it is not just U-verse connections that can't get to the site in question; I can't get to it from my backup AT&T DSL connection either (but Comcast has no problems reaching it).

This is not a problem with u-verse but rather with the AT&T network . I manage a website for a local theater group hosted by GoDaddy. Since Wednesday of this week I have not been able to access this site from my home U-verse network using my Either of my macs, my iPod, iPhones, or my windows 7 laptop. Further investigation I find it's not available form AT&T 3G or 4g networks. Users of our site have complained that it they can not reach either . These users include at least one AT&T DSL user and uverse users. I spent some time on the phone withmy AT&T uverse support. That was getting pointless has I had a real hard time convincing the script monkeys on the support line that this was not related to my home connection but rather an issue with the broder AT&T network.

I then called tech support at GoDaddy which is fortunately staffed by individuals we have graduated beyond script monkey school. We tried serverla things including try to acces via the shared IP. No dice. It's not a DNS issue. The support staff found that it is a known issue and GoDAddy was actively working on the issue with AT&T. No ETA. This was last night about 900 P! Eastern time. I will follow up with them later and if I have news I will update this post.

Our network admin just about had a nervous breakdown trying to work with AT&T on the issue I mentioned above. And we had an expensive, dedicated line.
