Can you help with my website?

My main fannish website is http://creative-imperative.net

I haven't been able to access the site from home for two days. Not on the web, not via FTP, or anything. The weird thing is it seems fine from my work PC. I don't know if it's my ISP blocking it, or my firewall or what. I can't do much from work 'cos there's rules.

If you've got a moment, could you try to get into the site and let me know if you can?

(Some parts of the site aren't working; I know this, that's why I'm trying to get in to fix it.)

ETA: Thanks to everyone who commented so far!
My home ISP is VirginMedia - anyone else using them and can try it?

Thanks. I don't know what's wrong but at least I'm narrowing it down to "my fault, somehow".

Got in fine. I use Explorer and Sygate Personal Firewall, FWIW.

I can from a windows XP machine without a firewall up.

oh and with Firefox.

I certainly can access to it from home, and I'll try to access it later, from work and let you know.
I'm using FireFox 3.1, but, as I am in Argentina, I'm not using VirginiMedia =D

Thanks. This is getting more and more confusing, but at least I know everyone but me can still reach the site!

Accessed it fine. I browse with Firefox.

I can access it from within our Big Damn Government firewall.

I have Roadrunner in the US and was able to access it fine just now. I use Firefox 3. No firewall, no antivirus to block it.

Have you tried shutting down your firewall? This is just so freaking bizarre.

[identity profile] morgan32.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, tried that. Next step is to borrow a laptop and try with that plus my regular modem.

[identity profile] raynedanser.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Seriously. I'm fresh out of ideas. You're gonna keep us posted, yeah?

[identity profile] morgan32.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I will.

Not adding anything you don't know already other than to say hope you get the problem sorted soon.

[identity profile] morgan32.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. This is so frustrating!

[identity profile] meeshy.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Virgin Media user here able to view it completely fine...

[identity profile] morgan32.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for trying for me :-)

Well, that blows that theory. I'm totally stumped. I've tried four different browsers. I've turned off my firewall. Every other site on the internet is working just as it's supposed to for me, and everyone else seems to have no trouble accessing the site.

Why can't I get into my own freaking website???? Wah!

You're welcome (if it helps I have google's Chrome and Firefox and it works on both, though I don't have the latest update for firefox yet)

Mean website not letting you on!
