[Baz]

[zappaDPJ]

It working for me but since the middle of last night I've had problems connecting to a number of sites I visit on a daily basis.

[Niall]

Working fine for me.

[zappaDPJ]

As an example of the above, Windows is reporting that it cannot connect to Windows Update. I can't help feeling this is part and parcel of http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,26100.0.html

Loaded OK for me, a bit slow though.

Loads instantly for me.

Loads, but very slowly, on O2 WAP.

I can't get through, Glenn, haven't been able to all day - Norton DNS.

[Glenn]

I was using OpenDNS, I changed the alternative to Google and then I could access the site.

I was tryig to see if they was a way to block a country in SMF, as most of the bots that try to join my racing forum, use Ukraine IP's.

Can't get to the site from Spain, using Telefonica's DNS servers.

I'm using OpenDNS and it's fine for me. Weird...

It's not easy, as the ranges aren't continuous.

Which version of SMF are you using Glenn?

I'm using SMF 2.0 RC4 and combine reCAPTCHA with some manually entered "Verification Questions" which seems to do the trick.

I often see "Guests" (bots) attempting to create accounts but they're not successful.

[Glenn]

I'm on 1.1.14 Griff

[Rik]

It's working now, Glenn.
