Access to site times out behind a corporate firewall

jms · 05-01-2008, 12:51 PM

Hi,

I was trying to access this set from the office behind a corporate firewall ( of course ) which I believe is running squid. My browser connection basically times out for whatever reason. I could access any other site (smh.com.au, google.com.au, news.com.au, etc... )

Any ideas ?

mmm - difficult to tell what the problem might be.

Next time you try, have a look at ZooBeat Forums :: Zoo News and Discussion (it's on the same server and running the same software) ... if you have no problems accessing that site then it's something about the way I've built this site that is causing the problem. If you do have problems - then it's something about the way your proxy is set up that is causing problems accessing our host.

check with your system administrator

Squid is a proxy server not a firewall.

Sorry .. yes. Got the two confused.

It looks like the problem was only temporary on Friday, as I am accessing this site now without problems.
