Is anyone else having trouble accessing http://boards.openpandora.org?

It just times out it is like the site is not their and has been like this for a few weeks.

All other sites seem to work fine? Is something not configured correctly or not propagated correctly?

I can ping the site fine but the website just times out.

TIA

Sound like a DNS problem somewhere as I have access. You may want to check through downforeveryoneorjustme.com

Either my DNS has a specific problem with this one URL (e.g. www.openpandora.org works fine!) or more than likely something is not setup correctly at the other end?

I do not know if OpenPandora read this forum anymore but if they do can they double check everything is setup correctly their end?

Yes, I read it, and boards.openpandora.org is a simple subdomain, it's the same DNS server and everything is properly setup (checked with dig).

That happens if you try to ping boards.openpandora.org or make a traceroute?

Thanks for replying.

This is all very strange. Boards is still not working for me but the normal www site works fine.

Here are the pings and tracerts.

That's weird - the tracert even GOES to my server. Why shouldn't my server serve you with the boards? :eek:

Tried different browsers, etc.?
 
It looks like it does not like Firefox on my setup as it works on my Linux machine and from within IE in Windows (I am sure I tried this so it has either started to work or I didn't).

If I manage to track down what in Firefox for Windows is causing the problem I will post - must be an Addon but I only have the common ones installed and I assume other Windows Firefox users are working fine :)

Tried all kinds of browsers and didn't have issues :)
Let me know if you found it, maybe I can fix that on ther server as well somehow :)

Have you tried clearing your Firefox cache and temporary files (and maybe cookies, at least for that site)? Often when I had such a problem with any site that worked for everyone but me it was some corrupted data.
