        Hmmmm…I haven’t been able to get to gc.com all day on any computer on the home network. Anyone else having problems?

        Still no problems here. Anything I can get for your in the next 15 minutes?

          It’s either a server or dsl problem because I can connect via my htc phone. Hmmmmmmmmmm….

            Ok, I can connect to forums.geocaching.com

            I can’t connect to geocaching.com. Same root domain. I get “can’t connect to server.”

            I tried rebooting the network and DSL modem, swearing at the computer, and preparing a burnt offering to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs (why take chances). Any other ideas?

                Same problem, and ditto for going thru coord.info

                “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

                Most likely causes:
                You are not connected to the Internet.
                The website is encountering problems.
                There might be a typing error in the address.

                What you can try:
                Diagnose Connection Problems

                More information”

                Same error using any of the household PCs so it’s not a computer thing.

                It’s not an IE thing because I get the same error on Safari on the iPad or on the Android browser. Clearly a network thing of some sort, but I’m not sure why (obvioulsly or I’d fix it!). And I don’t know how to ask an intelligent question of the DSL provider to blame it on them…

                  TO troubleshoot: Can you connect your phone via WiFi through your home router?

                  You <— HTC <— Wireless Forces <—- Router <

                  Home Provider <

                    Phone browser connect thru data plan: Ya.
                    Phone broswer connect thru home network: Not so much.

                    Doesn’t matter which of the two wireless routers I use or whether it is ethernet cabled to the main router. So that would lead me to the DSL modem-thingy…

                    Most bizarre. Time to call the service provider…but why just one site on the whole Interweb? Makes no sense to me.

                      There’s always the Proxy route to see if you are getting a specific block, e.g. try to go through: (Hope there’s no malware here……)

                      plug in http://www.geocaching.com and hit go………………..and duck………

                        Ok, so since that route works, what does that tell me.

                        Man, I feel like such a tech noob here. 😳

                                So you know how you have a problem with your car, that squeak from the back tire you just can’t figure out, and the day you take it into the garage it works fine? I called my provider and, of course, the site access worked again when I was trying to explain the problem. 😳

                                Must’ve been that last goat I sacrificed.

                                  I wonder if we’re getting any new toys this time…
