I am now unable to access my favorite website from my area. But the website is still up and running. Why?

Question

I live on a small U.S. island in the pacific ocean. Suddenly last week I was unable to access the rivals.com group of websites to follow up on my favorite team. The site is still active. I constantly get a cannot find server error. I have contacted my local ISP they say it is not their fault. I have tried 3 browsers in 3 different locations on island, with a MAC and windows PC. Rivals says it is not on their end. What can I do to find where the problem is? Then how can I find out how to fix it? Thanks

Answer 1

It sounds like its your ISP's fault!! Their DNS server may not be updating properly. Try and do a tracert from the command prompt see exactly where it stops.. It's IP address is 66.18.100.2. simply goto start, run and type cmd.exe takes you to windows command prompt. type tracert 66.18.100.2. It should list every router it stops at before getting to it. Also you should try www.proxy.org and try getting to it from there.

atuor--thanks, I did as you suggested, first I tried proxify, it was able to bring up my website, but some of the buttons did not work, but I could get there, and the links on that page worked, just not the drop down menus and stuff. As far as the tracert goes # 1 was a DNS code, # 2 was rtr6-cha-f0-1.gw.micronesiantel.net[ipaddress] Then 3-30 were request timed out. It seems to stop at my ISP does it not? Any other suggestions.
