Hi Guys,
First of all, I'm not advertising this. It is my creation but I just need it to be tested.
I'm selling calendars for my rabbit rescue. However, 2 of my friends said that they can't access the site, citing "the page can't be found/displayed/error".

What's weird is that I can and some of my other friends can. I can access it from both IE & Firefox from 2 different computers. If anyone is having trouble accessing it too, could you let me know what it says ?

I just need more confirmation before reporting this to the site tech support.


Either this or this

Thanks for any help.

Both came up just fine.

Are your friends that can't access it using the same ISP in the same area as you?

works for me, out of the 69.10.2xx. network.
your friends might be hooked up to some really messed up dns servers, they are out there:p

n0cmonkey,
One trying to access it from Taiwan. Pretty sure that she uses IE.
The other one have the same isp as mine (cox). Does it make difference ?

skyking,
What do you mean by messed up dns server ?

I forgot to mention that the one in Taiwan is within her office network.
While the one here should be just single connection without network.

If a client's ISP's dns servers are having issues, their dns request may never get forwarded out or resolved correctly. So far, everyone who has taken time to post here says it works, 100%.
Regarding the one failure from Taiwan: Many webservers have custom .htaccess files.
If you have any customer data on a server, and you do business exclusively in the US, for instance, you might want to block traffic from Asia. The ISP's in many countries do not respond to complaints about hacking or fraud, so blocking them at the front door is all that you can do.

Thank you so much for everybody's help.
I really appreciate it.

I'll just chalk this up to 2 freakish server (and 2 unlucky friends).
At least I don't have to worry about other potential buyer here in US.

Seems like case closed. Thanks again :thumbsup:
