Can't Open Rolexforums.com?

[DreambreaX]

I can't open rolexforums.com in my computer, has this happened to you? I can open any website except rolexforums.com

However i can open it by using other computer at different place, why is that?

Thanks in advance!

[SUBversive]

No. But I'm no expert. Maybe reboot?

[sidak]

appears to be a dns issue - have it happen from time to time as well - i do a dns refresh and all is good again

[GradyPhilpott]

Are you using the https site?

[DreambreaX]

i have both mac and pc in my home, both can't open this rolexforums.com website,

when i am in different place using pc, i can. is this due to my internet that block the website?

Sounds like your IP has been blocked because of too many requests. Contact the owner to ask about this.

Maybe..... The firewall ?????

thanks, what do u mean by contact the owner?

i guess my internet connection is blocking the rolexforums, not my computer. i have 3 computer in my home, 1 laptop, the 3 of them can't open rolexforums. why is this?

It's most likely your wireless router. What brand of wireless router are you using at home?

It seems like that if you make too many requests quickly, maybe multiple tabs the forum automatically blocks your IP. Think the forum has had issues with this before and possibly denial of service attacks.

It has happened to me before, and there is quite a few threads here about it.

Type into google "my ip" to show your ip out on the internet.

PM lol-x who is the forum owner asking if it has been blocked.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue! Very frustrating.

For those who have this feature on your wireless router, try using the "Clone your mac address" and this should solve the problem, at least until the next time.

If the forum is still using dragonara, one way to check and see if the issue is in fact your IP address is to try and log into (using the same setup which is NOT allowing access to TRF) dragonara: www.dragonara.net. If you cannot access that website, then most likely it IS your IP address that is being blocked. Hope this helps!

Nathan, I tried accessing the dragonara site from my work PC ( the one restricting my TRF access) and I was able to get access. So now I'm still wondering why I can't get onto TRF....

i, too, have been having this problem until just now!

i was able to login from multiple locations all except from work (we have business Verizion FiOS)

thought it was a DNS issue but not sure...
anyway, i don't care anymore... it has started working again and now i can go back to being unproductive at work again :)

[DreambreaX]

Please help, this happening to me again. Before only my home computer can't open rolexforums. Yesterday i opened many tabs with my office computer, now i can't open this forums with both of my home + office computers.

Now im using my mobile.

I already message lol-x and havent grt response from him.

What to do?

[b5audia4]

I'm new on the forum and have been browsing a lot. And yes, I did open multiple tabs. It stopped working on one computer, but would worked elsewhere.

I just unplugged my router. And voila!, is fine now. Hope this helps other who has the same problem.

[jolimont]

ahh yes, the old switch it off and on trick

Am having the same problems, but only when I am connected via my router. No computer on the router will load the forum using either the DNS or IP address (50.30.45.116). I'm now connected direct from my cable modem and it is fine, but am getting redirect errors. See my thread "Problems accessing site" started 01/08/13 for more details.

Left a message thru "Contact Us" and got a redirect error. Not sure if it went thru.

I'm having the same issue. Have cleared cookies cache, used the http address rather than https, unplugged routers... Nothin. Halp!
