Post by thread:[OT]: piclist.com access seems blocked

Hi, everyone. I'm new, both to PICs (although I've been programming 'microcontrollers' since the 8080 was new) and to this list, which I figured would be a terrific resource, but ... I find that, in order to connect to http://www.piclist.com/... I have to use my wife's AOL account. That gets through, but neither my (admittedly not exactly vanilla) laptop nor my wife's (very vanilla Win XP Pro) laptop can connect through verizon.net. Is the listserver blocking verizon, is verizon blocking the listserver, is it something else entirely or does no one know?

There have been some posts about this in the past, but no conclusion that I know of was drawn. I've never been able to get through on Verizon, nor have several folks I've asked to try. Not sure why, but the tracepath shows where it's dying: 12: p-2-0.lsanca1-aa2.bbnplanet.net (4.24.148.70) asymm 15 865.079ms 13: a-7-0-4.lsanca1-ar11.bbnplanet.net (4.24.45.38) asymm 16 501.348ms 14: no reply 15: no reply 16: no reply The failure has been consistent since May, at least.

Most get through OK. A few never get my messages, or used to and now don't. I don't get bounce messages. One such is a yahoo.com email user. However - there are about 6 other yahoo.com users who DO get my messages. Most obvious cause is spam filtering on my address either at destination or along the way. Any thoughts. I've asked the user about spam filtering at their end but they are not overly responsive on the subject. Russell McMahon -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Originating at Verizon (Washington DC) my trace clears Verizon and dies eleven hops later at a-7-0-4.lsanca1-ar11.bbnplanet.net [4.24.45.38] If I had to guess (and that is all it is) there is a node out there with a bad table. Presumably it would depend on how the query gets routed. Win Wiencke Image Logic Corporation -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

I have been unable to connect to the piclist website since I got my new adsl connection. If you cant connect, try going through an anonymous proxy on the web(I just tried this tonight, dont ask me why I didnt think of it before), http://www.the-cloak.com worked first go, now I can look at the archives again....(sigh of relief:-) Cheers JJ {Original Message removed}
