Thx Jimmy,

Same situation as me.

But our member Theo cannot access the forum !

The timed out request from a ping is "normal" probably because of the site's firewall(host's).
The only way to get a proper ping is to only ping the port 80, which is always open on a website but afaik there is no way to do it on a windows system.

Thanks Vagblad,

The PING is not directly a problem. Problem is website is not accessible from certain countries. This can be tested via :

Choose hmgforum.com and a country!

Serge,

I tried that link you posted. Tried with multiple countries and the only one i've found that it could not connect was The Netherlands. Even countries with heavy ip monitoring like China for example could get a forum screenshot just fine.

I am guessing next step for Theo is to try connect through a vpn? Even with a free version of whichever.

Thanks Vagelis,

Very strange all this.... Rathi, what could it be? We have more members from the Netherlands.
