    Hi,

    We have been happily using http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com/ and a wifi radio on Eir until recently. The Raido still connects to Wifi or ethernet on your fibre modem but can't load any  channels (radio is also pingable from other devices). I've put the radio onto hostireland, Virgin and Magnet links and it works fine. I've logged into the modem and temporarily disabled the firewall to no avail.

    I'm hoping you would hve an idea of whats going on.

    First guess is that eir are missing a route to the network where its hosted. If you find out what IP's the actual content is served from (not the website) then you can check and see if connectivity is there or how far you can go with a simple ping/tracert.

    Thanks Ed I was thinking that, I reckon I'll stick the radio behind a decent firewall and see where its trying to go. Hadnt the time or tools to do it today so thought I ask the isp :)

    Forgot to update this. All traffic from the radio was port 80. Switched to google DNS the radio works without a hitch.
