steamgamers.com connection issue

[Labarr]

Hey,

 

I finally decided to post a thread to see what you guys think about the problem.

 

Every now and again (maybe once a month) I cannot connect to steam-gamers.net. I ruled out it being a DNS issue by trying to use the sites IP of 108.163.192.214. This is on wired connection

 

When I switch to Wireless, the problem goes away. I am using my college's internet, which is very good. I then did a Trace to steam-gamers.net on both Wired and Wireless:

 

Wired

 

Wireless

 

 

Note in 1st picture(Wired): As you can see, at hop 13 - it is trying to connect to 108.163.192.214, but fails..

 

 

So is there something on steamgamers/channelfuse's end blocking my wired connection?

 

Thanks

This has happened to me in the past, Chrome told me I had been blocked from the website or something.

 

edit - could this be linked in to when I sometimes can't see the servers as well?

Happened to me for 36 or so hours a few weeks ago, except I couldn't connect with my IP at all.

I don't think they interchange with one another... as they are not related. But I too have had server issues in the past.. but never at the same time as this issue.

Only thing I could say is to flush your dns, delete your cache and give it a reboot. Never had a problem personally.

you should try Google DNS.

 

Before i started using Google DNS i kept getting the same problem you guys have, but now i can access the forums all the time and never get any problems.

Like Chaoz said, use google dns and if that doesn't work the first time round, using a proxy for a couple of hours should fix the problem as Bread had this problem and it solved it for him

Like i said in the original post.... DNS is not the problem because A) I was already using 8.8.8.8 as my DNS and B) Directly connecting to the IP address should have worked.

 

 

Proxys are slow... might will work.. but this isn't an issue that only last a few hours....

 

SG goes through channelfuse's server... therefore I cannot connect to channelfuse either.. I don't think the problem is on my end
