Can anyone see this site?

[Niall]

Using IDnets DNS server.

http://www.sickboy.net/

For example, they posted a photo http://www.sickboy.net/images/NI/Mm6.png which was one of 10-15 photos. I couldn't see any of these photos he posted until I changed the DNS to openDNS. A bit strange don't ya think?

Same here, Niall getting 'Server not found' error, ok if I use Hidemyass.com though.

[Glenn]

It's slow to load from my work connection.

[Niall]

It's odd isn't it? I've never had an issue seeing a website with IDnet DNS, other than when it's a new website still propagating around the net, but this is most odd. Other people on other ISPs can see it fine, which I don't understand.

HideMyAss = OK

Zen DNS = No go

IP lookup for the domain is 209.200.252.150 and OpenDNS shows this too.

[pctech]

Tracert to that IP looks like this

4tracert 209.200.252.150

Sickboy.net will simply not resolve.

[Glenn]

Loads OK here, I'm using a mixture of IDNet/Google DNS

[pctech]

Can you run a tracert Glenn?

Weird, can get it via a Google search but not directly.

[Ted]

All loads fine, site and pic, using Norton DNS.

[pctech]

so its being blocked by UK ISPs, why?

[pctech]

Mystery solved.

Its the way the domain has been set up, www.sickboy.net doesn't map to an IP whereas sickboy.net does.

[Niall]

That's a bit of a cr*p oversight by a domain hosting company!

[pctech]

Have seen this before with hosts.
