It's definitely Comcast that is blocking the site. They were able to remotely turn off "Smart Packet Protection" at my home modem, but I haven't yet verified if it works. Here at the office, which has a different modem, they claim nothing is being blocked. Ran out of time to argue with the jerk, so I got a case no. and will call back later.
And thanks for the workaround. Not sure if I have access to any of that stuff, but my partner will. > > On Dec 9, 2010, at 2:16 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > > > > You may be right.
