problems with getting to thewoodwhisperer.com site

[Bhboyle]

Good morning folks.

 

I am having troubles getting to the site from my home. I am in Toronto and my home provider is Teksavvy. I can get to the sites hositing provider (rackspace).  My works web site is on Rackspace and I can get to it from home but not the wood whisperer site from home.

 

I can ping the site from both work and home but when i open a connection in a browser at home the connection fails. It works fine from work using a different provider.

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

 

Based on the port 80 traceroutes, I am being blocked by Rackspace. This is a shame because I really enjoy the video segments but I cant watch them at home except on youtube and this does not have all the surrounding community. it looks like a routing problem to me... for what that's worth.

 

Here is the port 80 traceroute from home...

This happened with me and G S Haydon's blog. It turns out my ISP had recieved a blacklist request because someone used his IP to spam some people. All it took was a call to my ISP asking for a reevaluation. They pulled up his site from their location to verify it was a legit site and cleared it up right away.

I will give that a try tonight.

Thanks for the idea!
