Greetings

I have not received any e-mails for the PMs I have received in the last few days. Also no thread update e-mails either. Has something changed, or broken?

Also the site has been very slow lately. Tonight, right now (see time stamp)

Thanks

 

what domain is your email? maybe your isp is filtering us?

 

Nope that is not it. @Ricks2k.com. The last one I got was dated 12/22 around noon.

 

Looks like is a problem w/ your ISP.

Looks like you have a firewall blocking us.

Please talk to your ISP ev1servers.net

 

Thanks,

What IP address(es) or range would they see hitting their firewall? Figures they would be the problem.

 

the IP they'll see is 64.62.178.130

 

I submited a trouble ticket, and they opened the port back up. Here is their reply.

Dear Customer,

That IP was blocked for portscanning. Please make sure you have not been hacked. I have had the NOC unblock it.

Have a nice day,

EV1Servers Tech Support.

 

ha! thats so unlikely. I can just about garentee there was no port scanning. There's no way someone would have done that. Maybe it was from some other IP and they blocked a large block.

I call BS on that answer, but I'm glad its fixed.

 

Agreed. I am pushing for more details. Like you have the time to port scan.

Thanks for your help, as I would have never figured it out without your help.
