no, read it, they host many many websites, and some of them sends crawler etc that causes problems for those web sites they hit.

It's not a DAZ issue it's somthing else

Don't mess with ya system settings, it's not your fault it's else where

Give me a minute,, I'll just reboot the internet ;)

good luck all

Yes, but again as I mentioned there might be other reasons for this as well, and the article above had nothing to do with Daz3d, I looked the hosting company up and the have a
class A adress span actually the whole 38.xxx.xxx.xxx network, which is thousands of clients
so I am pretty sure someone will rais their attention to the problem.

The hosting companys web site seems down, atleast for me, and it's on another network.
and daz3d works for me, so it sounds like a big mish mach on the other side of the puddle..

Here you can read a bit about it
http://www.my-whiteboard.com/business/performance-systems-international-inc-is-stealing-your-data-doing-nothing-good.html

Now a reaction like the above might cause someone to block anything coming from that place
which in turn renders these kind of problems

Not strange

becuse the two are on the 38.103.62.xxx network,
while poserpros are on 72.233.77.xxx network

so it seems and I am pretty sure that you won't reach any host on the 38.103.62.xxxx network.

This is the hosting company where Daz3d.com is located

OrgName:    Performance Systems International Inc.
OrgID:      PSI
Address:    1015 31st St NW
City:       Washington
StateProv:  DC
PostalCode: 20007
Country:    US

I thought Daz had their own servers, which they don't so the problem is probably at the hosting company, it also seems not to be isolated to scandinavian regions when I read the thred. To be honest there can be 100 different reasons for this behaviour and I am sure it will eventually be resolved, which I could be of more help to ya guys..

if it's a DNS issue u should be able to connect using the IP adress 38.103.62.29

Yes routing problems, not a DNS problem, thanks for the update :)

If nextgentel uses the same network adress plan for all of you, most likely they use NAT and have a fairly small adress span , it might very well be so that DAZ had been attaced by someone from the same adress span as you two are using, then someone at DAZ had blocked a adress span not single clients, this would affect ANY one on your adress plan, this is why u need to call the ISP and ask if THEY can connect, if they can't, it's affecting a whole adress span not specific clients.

By using Netstat or some window based GUI's for network connectivity test you can see what exact IP message you get from the timeouts, mind you it requers a bit of IP know how to understand the feedback you get, but your ISP should do this for you, ask to talk to a supervisor rather then the 15yo numb skull that usually picks the phone up when you first call them

I'm in Finland and I reach it just fine, yes if more ppl having the same problem I would say it's a larger network resolv issue, hard for you to troubleshoot, and most likely not at your end, I still recomend calling the ISP and see if they can resolv/connect to the sites.

Ok to troubleshoot you need to bone out the actuall problmem

1. can your computer resolve the daz3d.com into and IP adress ?
        if Yes  then it's not a DNS problem, if no you have a DNS issue and talk to your ISP
2. If it resolves, try doing a tracert xxx.xxx.xxx (ip adress) see if you can reach the host
3. if the trace works, try telnet xxx.xxx.xxx :80 or 8080, if you get a promt it connects

Ones u know u can reach the host and connect to the web server and it still won't show, it's most likely a local computer problem, firewall, somthing is blocking it simply

Can be that your ISP/ ISP's (if you have different ones ) are having routing issues, or some shmuck at DAZ blocked you guys IP adress span maybe (not likely nut..)

Bring up the property dials, click the second tab, uncheck the vissable checkbox ( select the body/prop part u want to hide/unhide)
