Short before christmas I lost access to around 15-20% of sites I tried to connect to in the .com-domain. Contacting my provider, whith whom I alraedy had a bitter fight last year, they said that due to high customer numbers they had rearranged their installation, giving some of their customers - like me - a new session-IP-number in the new 89.xx-range. They said this would be the reason why I can'T contact certain sites whose server's have not been yet configured to accept these new numbers, that way any request coming from such session-IPs would be ignored - giving me the impression the sites do not exist while not answering.
Anyone knowing about this kind of stuff? I don't know these things, don't know what a session IP is. I cannot evaluate if they tell me BS or if it is real. Telling me that I should contact every server that I can't reach sounds like a bad joke to me - that would be some tens of thousands, if not millions of potential sites out there. I told three of these, and they even did not know what I was talking about (translated my provider'S technical explanation), and thus said they do not plan to reconfigure anything. For example, i also cannot access the refernce file update site for Adaware, neither manually nor automatically, currnetly need to wait until the file is brought up on different sites, with some days delay.
Advise, help, inoput highly welcomed. Who knows how long this line to subsim.com will stand...
Neal, have you changed anything on your server?
