What does it tell you if pinging to your server gives you 0% packet loss, traceroute to your server shows that there is no problem anywhere yet you can't access your server (http) and you can't login into your server? When I try to telnet into the server, it accepted my login name yet it can't pas the password verification. It's doing something like this:

Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 on an i686
login: indoweb
Password:

and stucks there forever....

chees,
:beer:

Currently, 6:37p, from my server at weinbar...

--- site5.com ping statistics ---
50 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Yet, http://www.site5.com loads fast...

So what's going on?

I'm having the same problem as you.. However I got in further.. After doing a directory listing, it freezes there.. Also froze when I'm checking my mail.. I trying to access interserver and nothing.. Tracert route to my server and don't see anything wrong.. Oh well.. VDI again! =P

*crosses fingers for April 24th*

So... it's not just me!!!

It can't be VDI since VenturesOnline, Webhostingtalk, and etc are all fine... Is your server/account hosted directly with VDI or with a secondary company inside VDI (in my case, interserver.net)??

cheers,

I'm with interserver.. It's fine now.. Strange eh? hehe.
routing problem?

It's fine now... you are right. So it's not VDI problem, but interserver's problem? And you said there was a routing problem? How come? Traceroute was fine, ping was fine and there was a routing problem?

cheers,
:beer:

Well that's what I think since it took awhile to obtain the last hop to my server.. And the hop before that had an *. So that's what I thought it might be a routing problem within VDI's network.. Maybe..............

As I remember correctly I read somewhere a while ago that Site5 just eats your pings for breakfast. ie. it looks like an error but it's not. They just don't allow you to ping their servers. :)

We do indeed block ICMP to that machine - If you would like a machine within our network to ping/traceroute to, use neural.site5.com.

Hei Vince...

Yea I just remembered that Site5 blocks ping request...
BTW, where is Matt? is he around? I need to talk with him, to finish what we talked about a week ago... Who are you, sales, tech? :D Can I talk with you instead of Matt, if he is not around?
