Network oddness
- Posted by Rob (#1) on January 29, 2008 22:01 CET
Most of my friends and probably most people I have worked with would call me an Internet expert. That doesn't necessarily mean I know everything about it, but usually I do have a clue what's going on.
Well, not this week. I'm currently in Austria for a skiing trip. The wireless network in the hotel works fine (hence this post), however there are some hosts I cannot access. There seems to be some correlation with the network location: US hosted sites have most problems, including.. Capsi. Argh! (I could easily forego checking my own site and e-mail for a week if I didn't have the opportunity, but when I do have a network connection and I still can't, that's just annoying.)
So far so good, though. I don't like it much but there are some reasonable explanations for the situation, such as a broken proxy server at the hotel or its provider. But I just set up dad's wireless connection - and he has no problems whatsoever connecting to the sites I have problems with. This I do not get.
