How to access this server?

  • 772

I have a server that I cannot access. At first I thought it was just some temporary failure with the server, but checking from other IP addresses reveals that it is working just fine. It's only my IP address that's failing.

So here is what I've tried:

  • nslookup - resolves correctly
  • ping - 100% packet loss using the IP address or domain
  • traceroute - first few hops work, but from about 6 and on, I just get stars

Edit: I am using OpenDNS for DNS resolution, and as mentioned above, the problem is not DNS resolution anyway.

networking ping nslookup

    I fixed it!

    I finally got it working by going into my router's config page and forcing it to renew its IP address.

  2. Sounds like you have a firewall in place doing something. I would turn off the firewall and see if that alters things at all.

    Alternatively, can other IPs access your target system via HTTP? If they can and your firewall isn't doing anything, then I would clear your cookies, cache, etc.
