I'm doing a little research on a particular member's website. Stevin runs http://www.basher82.nl, a really great website about fallen allied soldiers in the Netherlands. He runs the website out of his home computer and he's been having some problems with people visiting his site. According to Stevin, More and more internet providers are block access to, what they call, un-identified servers like his. Unfortunately many providers see his type of server as a potential spam or DoS-attack risk. The number of visitors to his site has been steadily declining over the last year.



I'd like as many of you as possible to visit http://www.basher82.nl and post here whether or not you can get through or if you get a "page not found" or "connection timeout" problem, which means you are blocked. I'd also like you to post where in the world you are, and what service you use to access the web so we can get a general idea of the blocking. Any and all help would be great.

I'll start:

Server Status: blocked "The connection has timed out"
Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Service: Comcast Cable

Thanks for all the help gentlemen, I think we are starting to get a clearer picture of what's going on with Stevin's server. So the current results are:

Otto: no
jacobtowne: yes
kerem: no
Von Poop: no, then yes
Fortune: yes
Martin Bull: no
Kai-Petri: yes
Ali Morshead (work): yes
Ali Morshead (home): yes
TA152: yes
Richard42: yes
Za Rodinu: no
Sloniksp: yes
raj-rif: no
T. A. Gardner: yes

That means we have 9 people that can get through, 5 that can't, and 1 more who had trouble, then got through later. Not very good at all. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img] Any one else taking a look would be helpful.
