| [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue.
Ok, here is the issue. I can't access or even ping the address "www.zagg.com" at home. I have ATT DSL, going through a router. I used to be able to just fine. Here is what I did on my own : Cleared cache, disabled security, repair install of browser, direct connect to DSL Modem with PPPoE on PC, tried PPPoE on the modem, added the address to trusted/completely unblocked lists, added the address and IP address to my Hosts file, and finally I had to re-install my PC, so after I got Windows on, I connected to the Internet with Windows and drivers only to check. If I take my PC to another place, and connect to the Internet there I can access the site just fine. After running a trace, I went as far as to contact the server company that I last connect to!
After a long time of waiting with tech support, a level 2 person told me that there was nothing that could be done. Real bad call IMO, but whatever.
Here are the errors I get from various programs : Internet Explorer (Versions 6-8) : Either time out or "Web page unable to display." Firefox : The server at www.zagg.com is taking too long to respond. Ping : Request Timed Out Trace Route (I ran it with a delay of 5000ms with the same results.) : quote: Tracing route to zagg.com [204.246.134.167] over a maximum of 30 hops:

Does anyone have any idea what I can do? This has gotten quite annoying. | |

I ran into this issue 2 yrs ago at a customers house and that's what fixed the issue. | |

d_l : Is there any way on my end to verify that? I got a 99.142 IP, and I remember having that before and having access. That used to be all I got when I connected.
Also, the tech support was outsourced. Better managed, but still. Would forcing a technician to call me work? I could raise the MTU to 1500 and cause a nasty issue. I did that once to see what would happen, changed it back in less then 5 minutes. They called within 10. I would prefer to try anything else before posting in the direct form, as per the requirements. | |

| This might be due to an out-of-date BOGON filter at the zagg.com server. They could still have your subnet IP blocked even though AT&T notified them long ago that the 99.152.xxx.xxx subnet is now valid. Frankly there isn't anything that AT&T can do if the zagg.com server owner won't update BOGON filters in a timely manner.
If there are other IP blocks available on your aggregation router (other than 99.xxx.xxx.xxx subnets), you might be able disconnect your PPPoE connection for a few seconds and hope for a new IP in a different block to be assign when you re-connect. If you manage to win at this "IP roulette" game, you should be able to connect to the server. | |

  d_l Barsoom Premium,MVM join:2002-12-08 Reno, NV | There isn't any way for you to verify that a BOGON filter is the cause of the access problem. Also the filter (if it is the cause) may only be restricting certain subnets within the 99.xxx.xxx.xxx subnet. | |

| Re: [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue. More than likely your dsl connection will only issue 99 ip's Use the free dialup access there's a good chance you'll get a much lower ip number
The 99.142 tracert times out after: 12 91ms 92ms 94ms vi-011.aggm02.slc04.viawest.net [206.71.65.50] | |

| Re: [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue. Well, I was able to talk to a tech person at ZAGG via E-Mail, I am relaying this information to him as well as how apparently there were some issues with other BOGON filters not likening 99.xxx.xxx.xxx IP addresses.
I will update here as things go on. | |

| Re: [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue. Well, I have had a number of IP addresses, but they always start with 99. It seems that anything with 99 as the first set is blocked, and I would guess the earliest I would get a response or that it would be looked into is Monday. So unless proven otherwise, I will assume addresses starting with 99 are ignored and the BOGON list needs to be updated.
Also, I do not have a dial-up modem, so I can not test that way. | |

| Re: [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue. Well, thanks everyone. I know computers, but networks I only know enough for home networking with shared Internet. The information here allowed me to properly inform Zagg about a possible issue, as well as removed's contact and quite possibly David's contact as well. | |

Well unfortunately, in order to answer the question a bit more completely, we would have needed the posts that are as least 4+ years old and not really search-able anymore. The website in question is not even up anymore.
removed had some documentation explaining how this problem comes about and step by step instructions on how to address and get the problem fixed. It was quite detailed and very well written. Unfortunately, over time it just went by way of the dodo (so to speak). -- If you have a topic in the direct forum please reply to it or a post of mine, I get a notification when you do this.

| Re: [help] Can't access ONE web page, ATT says no issue. Yeah, I think I lost that page during a server move a few years ago. The network admins I emailed never replied to me, but since it's working now I think it's safe to say that they fixed the problem.  -- irc.removed.us - #dslr | DSLR Phishtracker | Email: removed@dslr.net | |
