Site inaccessible

Zelig · May 11, 2006, 06:31 AM

I can't seem to access either the driverheaven.net homepage, or the forums from home. Driverheavendownloads and drivercleaner still work though.

Not really sure what, if anything I should do about this. If any mods/admins want to contact me, it may be better to reach me at marsh3 at gmail dot com through MSN, or via the ICQ number in my profile, as my access to the forums away from home is very limited after today.

are you using one of those programs that increases the number of max connections to a website?
i think neon did that once, and the server decided he was trying a DDoS attack on DH

I have the same problem but not necessarily when I am at home. Last weekend could not access site for 24hours but could go to any other site ok. It is a Driverheaven specific issue.

Nope, I haven't touched settings or updated anything on either my main rig, or my internet server. I'm on dial-up anyway, I'm stuck at slow speeds regardless of anything i do.

The firewall is blocking ips temporarily to what it is classing as attacks. if you are on the site dont hammer refresh. the site hasnt been "down" for a long time. There is also a possibly it has been routing.
