Hello, for the past few days, I have been unable to see this server:
samp.prestigiousgaming.net:7777

On the SA:MP client, nor does the teamspeak say that it's up.

I am not firewalled, banned, or anything from this server (i've confirmed with server executives) and I have tried everything to fix it. It is ONLY this server and their TS so I do not know what's wrong. I've never seen anything like this, and YES the server and teamspeaks are online.



-- I can connect to the teamspeak if I use a VPN though. (I've also told server executives that.)

well the "server executives" don't have access to the whole network... so perhaps the hosting company is blocking some countries.

according to this -> http://check-host.net/check-ping?host=66.150.121.62
Netherlands is blocked, maybe some other countries, you gotta give them your IP/ISP so that they can confirm with the host.

Well, I live in the United States and use Charter so I don't know.
I've given them my ISP, and IP.

Have you tried asking for the IP instead of the DNS?
Sometimes DNS's are stubborn and wont work.

@cole, yes, I have. It's 66.150.121.62

Greetings,

On windows, go to your Command Prompt, (cmd.exe), from there, type "tracert 66.150.121.62", that will tell you where the connection gets dropped at.

If it does not drop into it gets to a IP owned by the hosting company, then they are blocking you, if it gets blocked immediatly or within a few hops, its your ISP.

Are you using some kind of VPN?

[Flake.]

Have you tried changing your ip and or flushing your dns?
