Hi, I'm able to load it fine (xtra), but I have heard of a few of these cases. How long have you had your cable access and have you noticed this problem with other sites? Cable customers have a perm IP, so if you were caught with an open proxy or wingate, some sites use a central RBL system. I dont think they would deny access to the whole 203.96.144.0/24 if they were blocking for spam, it would most likely be your IP.

All

I'm on a TelstraClear / paradsie cable modem.

When I try to access the web site for the "Indepednent" in the UK, I get:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/environment/story.jsp?" on this server.

I'm thinking they have started blocking IPs they may consider possible sources of SPAM....

Has anyone else seen this? Can everyone else access this site from their networks?

I'm on 203.96.144.119.
