    www.politicalcompass.org

    Other people can get to it, yet I get 'Cannot find server' after a big struggle. Potential reasons? Its been like this all evening,and others are seeing the site fine.All other sites are ok for me.If you cannot connect to a site/page, and you know its up etc, what are the most likely reasons etc?

    a) your ISPs routing may be down or a bit messed up.
    b) its blocked by a firewall or proxy somewhere at your end.
    c) DNS problem .. try their ip: http://64.224.165.166/politicalcompass/index.html

    Do you have a 'child lock' on your machine / account / server?

    Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

    It was an ISP problem.Neither Indigo nor Eircom could get to it, but Oceanfree could.

    Plyd Eircom, case closed.

    Ah hehe, you'd expect if you're paying per min for the net you'd get a decent service eh? I got better dl rates off esat than i do off indigo :/
