website blocked from 87.81 block

Hi,

(new thread started after http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-b...estions-5.html)

I cannot access website http://www.classmarker..com from my new Sky IP address (ex BE) in address block 87.81.xxx.xxx

Pings and traceroute fail. The site is OK for other sky customers.

Your IP address in your first post (#36) shows that you have one of the 'new' Sky addresses starting 87.81.xxx.xxx. This may not be being recognised as a legitimate address for a Sky connection, so is rejected. We have seen this problem in the past when a new address block is introduced, usually it sorts itself out in a couple of weeks. If the problem continues get in touch with Sky and make them aware of the problem. As you are exBE you should be able too get in touch with the 'Pro' team, who are reputed to be a bit more efficient than the normal Sky Help.

Thanks - that all sounds plausible. So it's blocked by the target machine? Would that be something like they try and reverse DNS and get nothing? Or some other mechanism that says this block isn't a valid internet block yet?

Not 100% sure, but I think it is something like that.

This is resolved. The website had my IP blocked, for some unknown reason. Maybe it's like reusing a telephone number ;-)
