I was talking to a friend about a similar thing yesterday.
He wasn't able to get a response from <http://www.jinglemad.com/>, but I
could view it without any problems. We both use the same Internet
Provider. The only real difference between our setups is that I use a
dynamically allocated IP address and his is fixed. His trace route
ended with the following:
8 157 ms 153 ms 152 ms 209.51.149.109
9 111 ms 107 ms 105 ms l3-atl-8.gnax.net [209.51.131.18]
10 * * * Request timed out.
The same trace route for me ended with:
7 123 ms 124 ms 123 ms 209.51.149.109
8 110 ms 123 ms 110 ms l3-atl-8.gnax.net [209.51.131.18]
9 124 ms 123 ms 124 ms ice.dnsprotect.com [207.210.68.18]
My 'guess' is that his IP address has found its way onto a block list.
I suggested he tried <http://www.anonymizer.com/> to access the site and
it worked. :)
Apparently he's not been able to visit Jinglemad.com for three weeks
now, and thought it was down. :)
