This may be a question to be asked on the FPC list.

Maybe the fpc website (wiki maybe hosted somewhere else), had encountered DOS 
attacks, and is blocking the IPs that attacked? If you happen to have an IP 
in this range.


No blocking is done.

There is, however, an issue with some ISPs. The router to our ISP has a
non-standard packet window size. Not all routers from other ISP's can handle
this. This results in e.g. ping working fine, but WWW access does not work
(in fact, anything requiring a packet 14xx bytes)

 It works for me (Australia)...

I can't get to the Laz bugtracker or www.freepascal.org
http://www.freepascal.org. It's been that way for a month or so
now and I've tried different computers, browsers and ISP's and
nothing works. It just sits there saying Waiting for
www.freepascal.org http://www.freepascal.org. Does anyone else
have that problem?


Note I can get to www.lazarus.freepascal.org
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org and the Free Pascal wiki
(e.g., http://wiki.freepascal.org/iPhone/iPod_development).


I don't think it's a bandwidth issue on my side. Windows tells me
now that my wireless signal strength is Excellent and my
connection speed is 54.0 Mbps. I also don't have this problem with
any other Web site that I've tried in the last few weeks.


Thanks.

I had problems accessing yesterday morning too. Bug tracker would load.

On the same machine half an hour later it worked again.

Michael,

That's the best explanation I've heard yet, but is there a solution?
Will I never file another Lazarus or Free Pascal bug report?



Hmm, that explains, why some issues didn't recieve feedback :-(

No difference by specifying the IP address. Just sits there.

I just went there, and it's fine.

Have you checked, if it is DNS, or connectivity?
http://62.166.198.202  = should get you to the bugtracker.

If it does, you can put the IP in your host file (until you know why you 
DNS server does not resolve this) If it's in your host file, it should 
work for www too.

Just tried it with a different ISP and mantis.freepascal.org as you suggest. 
Just sits there.

You can try http://mantis.freepascal.org/
I think these connectivity problems are related to your ISP.

Re: [Lazarus] Can't connect to FPC site

2009-08-06 Thread Hess, Philip J
In the for-what-it's-worth category:

On a Mac at home, ping, traceroute and whois all return reasonable results for 
62.166.198.202:

ping -o 62.166.198.202
PING 62.166.198.202 (62.166.198.202): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 62.166.198.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=261.295 ms

--- 62.166.198.202 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 261.295/261.295/261.295/nan ms

But entering 62.166.198.202 in any browser just hangs. Or actually, all hang 
browsers except for iCab (www.icab.de), which eventually times out:

Network Error
An error occurred while accessing 62.166.198.202.
The Server did not respond within a certain time. Maybe the server is down.
(Network Error #-1001)


Does this make any sense?

Thanks.
