Relativeworkshop web site?

Recommended Posts

I also have had this problem for several months, I've told Bill Booth about it but as yet there is nothing, done that has rectified it.
I tried from 4 different ISPs here in OZ and all of them fail.[:/]

So coming from the Land of the Long White Cloud, you probably have the same problem as most of OZ.

The link works for me, unless I'm getting a cached version.

The first line on the page (for me) is:

66.192.101.2

That's the IP, if you're having problems resolving the DNS.

I did a tracert on www.relativeworkshop.com, but it timed out after a couple of hops, but it also timed out on a few other sites that work, so I don't know.


Any computer geeks care to explain?

The IP address of the website (66.192.101.2) is controlled by Time Warner Telecom. They control a huge block of addresses (around 256,000) beginning with 66.192.x.x.

It looks like they have sub-let a much smaller block of addresses (256) to spiderhost.com, who appear to host the RelativeWorkshop website. The IP address of the spiderhost website is 66.192.101.3.

An IP address block of this small size (known as a "/24", used to be known as a "Class C") is too small for some ISPs to route independently. Some ISPs will filter out blocks of IP addresses this small.

I'd bet this is what is why some people have no problems, while some cannot get to it.

Bill could contact his hosting company to push them for a solution. They need to announce a larger block to the world at large.

would you think it likely that almost ALL of Oz and NZ would be blocked in this manner?



It is dependant on the ISPs within those countries, rather than the countries themselves. You could try asking your provider...
