Is the HTC WEB Site front end down?
« on: July 24, 2013, 05:17:05 PM »
I'm trying to trace the front end (www.hitechcreations.com) and everything stops at the SFCal router to Texas. I've timed out all day on the address (www.hitechcreations.com). At least (bbs.hitechcreations.com) is obviously available.

I cannot get to you from the WEB server either.  Here is the trace.

Seems to be broken in Telia's network.


By the way bustr, that 206 IP address is not ours anymore.  The 100% packet loss at hop #8, in your Ping Plot, is normal.  That simply means that particular router is not honoring the "ICMP ECHO" packet.  Some ISP's do that for some routers.

Maybe unrelated, but I noticed last night my client was connecting to the MAs through the alternate address/means.  Unusual but not a problem.

What URL are you using?  You only get that message if you are trying to use a URL which is no longer valid.

Try running a Ping Plot to www.hitechcreations.com and see if there is a problem between you and the WEB page server.

I can't get that message again so not sure what url I was trying but I tried several different things to try to get to http://www.hitechcreations.com/

Still can not get to HTC's home page.  I checked with a squad mate and he has no trouble.  Odd for sure.  Tried a different browser and still no joy.

Run a Ping Plot to www.hitechcreations.com

The site is not down.  It sounds like it simply something wrong on the Internet between you and the site.
