Just do the following: go to your start menu, then click on run, then type, "cmd" (without the quotes). Then type "ping domainname.com", replacing domainname.com with the actual domain name that you want to check. You'll see a line like this:
Pinging twitturly.com [67.88.244.11] with 32 bytes of data: Just after the domain name is the IP address. Now, once you have an IP address go to http://arin.net and in the top right where it says search, enter the IP address. In the results page, look to see if there is anything that says "THEPLANET" or, "ThePlanet.com Internet Services". If you do, then you are in their IP range and will be blocked. Hope that helps. Oh, and these directions were if you are running any of the windows variants. If you are on a Mac, use terminal to ping the IP or if Linux, use the command line. On Jan 10, 2:00 am, "R.
