I live outside of Washington D.C. and I use Verizon FiOS. My roommate is a Korean who came to live with me and study at the local university. I don't have any complicated firewalls or nothing on my router that blocks specific ips or what not. However I just can't connect to this website:

http://www.plaync.co.kr

This is NCSoft's (Lineage, Guild Wars, etc.) Korean website. My friend plays a lot of Korean betas or what not and one of them happens to be linked on that site.

A tracert shows that I go to Cali, than to some IPs which I assume are outside the U.S. and then it just times out over and over after 25 hops. However, my friends on vent located all around the country and my cousin about an hour away from me can access the site perfectly fine.

Any solutions?

My guess is that your friend is being blocked. Some how they know that he is trying to access the site and they are purposely blocking him. This kind of thing happens from time to time, but you never know when.

Hm, there's no way a website can pro-actively block me if they don't even know my isp/ip. Everyone else I know around the country from VA to Texas can access this website.

Perhaps your friend went to the site and did something stupid, and now they are blocking him from all the computers he uses to access the site. It's possible. I've seen this done before and it wasn't pretty, let me tell you.

Tried that already =|.

I dunno. It's sad because I've known him for a while and we've gamed a bunch before and he wanted to show me new pvp MMOs from there. Arghhh... so frustrating knowing that a mile down the road, my friend can view this site but I can't (different ISPs tho).
