Hi guys,

Iboats regularly has problems from Australia. It's something to do with them blocking something to stop scammers, and unfortunately we get cut off too.

It usually takes a couple of weeks for it to come back up again.

It works fine for the US, so they are never in a hurry to fix the problem.

Regards

Might be dependent on the ISP you use as they may be blocking certian IP addresses.

Hoges and Brian are in the 202 to 220 range so they may be blocking above 200.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Cheers Noelm, I am a member also but have been inactive for about 12 months. I am unable to get the forum to open and tried by using many links from Google. I also emailed them over two weeks ago from a link that someone posted and have not received a reply. Even scanned the computer to make sure I was not carrying any cookies etc. Regards and thanks for letting me know it is still running.;D

[moater]

Yeah I've been having the same problem for a while now-bloody annoying trying different settings etc.Could open up a site selling merchandise though!::)>:(

[moater]

Just contacted my ISP to see if they can help...hopefull...::)

Regular problem. They block certain IP ranges because of SPAM. Optus seems to suffer the most from it.

You could try a proxy access website to get to it... like www.liveoxy.com (http://www.liveoxy.com)

Thanks for the info,must learn some more about this to avoid future problems.My service provider (who are usually very very good, couldn't work it out and thought that the site may have been under maintenace blah blahh).

There is a new range of IP addresses being used by some Australian ISP's, Optus seem to be the main one. The IP addresses are outside of the usual range and get blocked as "Bogus IP's". You need to get IBOATS to add them into the IP allow list on the server.

They are blocking certain IP ranges.

Use programs like Hide My IP https://www.google.com/search?q=hide+my+ip+free&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 and you will get the site to load.

Not sure about how to get around it with your phone, but there should be an app available to do a similar thing

This link will show you that it is loading fine for most people http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/iboats.com
