I have been unable to connect to Gonegambling.com from my PC through NTL Broadband from the UK since the start of the weekend. I have gone through loads of diagnostics, including the complete removal on Norton products. I can connect to GoneGambling.net just fine, as I can to all other websites I have tried. This problem seems very specific to this one site. I cannot connect through the FireFox browser either.
I can "ping" the server and I get a response with no packet losses. If I try FTP, it finds the server, but naturally connection then needs a user/password. This just shows that the server is probably visible to the internet.
I have tried connecting directly by IP rather than
www.gonegambling.com, but still no luck.
I would like to hear from any other GoneGambling member here who has had this problem before, or even having it now.
According to a "whois" query, the GoneGambling entry was updated very recently, so I am considering the possibility of a DNS error. The fact that I can "ping" the IP of the GoneGambling server as specified by DNS lookup does not prove that this is STILL the right server!
I do NOT want to reinstall the entire OS until I have been able to rule out everything else (for obvious reasons!).
