Accessing igokisen.

[calm]

For about two weeks now I have been trying to access the new igokisen web site to no avail,

I ran a traceroute with the following results:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
traceroute to igokisen.web.fc2.com (208.71.106.61), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.145.1 (192.168.145.1) 0.149 ms 0.119 ms 0.117 ms

so it appears to terminate at 99.164.168.1 where a whois search indicates is a Joliet AT&T substation.

Of course the traceroute indicates that I am also an AT&T ( from SBC ) subscriber.

Yesterday I tried to contact technical support ( turns out they have a sort of chat thingy on their support website ). There I was repeatedly told that AT&T does not block web sites, ( I never said they did it deliberately, or even that they were blocking web sites. Just that I couldn't access the web site. ) and to contact the domain provider, which I guess is the igokisen administrator. I have no idea how to contact him, and I don't think he can fix it even if I do given, given it is dieing at a AT&T station.

So I have two questions, the first being the obvious, how do I get this fixed? The second being my own curiousity. I know others in Chicago cannot access it, and I am curious how far this problem goes. Can you access the igokisen website? Where are you and what ISP are you using?

Thanks.

Rocky Mount NC, can connect, service provider is Century Link.

Edit: and traceroute works with igokisen.web.fc2.com to be perfectly clear.

To make sure: http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/news.html

Is this the link you have been using? It might be possible you're off by something.

You can read up on browsing through a proxy.

I don't regularly use proxies. So I am not really the person you want to be learning from. But some minimal effort searching got me this site, which is working for me.

Now, the interesting thing is, even though I can fetch the webpage at home, I can not traceroute from my home! I don't understand that at all.

remaining hops timeout.

I read the man page for traceroute to see if I could specify port 80 (for typical web traffic). I did that and got one hop further, but I still mostly timeout.
