I've just been to see a friend at his company as he was complaining about not being able to access certain websites or certain parts of sites that used to work fine. My first thought was browser or local firewall problem so I took my laptop along to eliminate the possibility of that being the fault. After some playing we found a couple of sites (hotmail and part of the Ryan Air booking system) that just timed out when we tried to access them, this was through my laptop and through their machines. I've just tried the same sites 10 mins later at home and they are working fine so it isn't that the sites aren't down. I also tried hitting the site through netcat and again, it just timed out. It isn't a http vs https issue as I successfully visited a number of sites of both types. It isn't even just web traffic, the ftp connection they use to publish their website allowed us to login and get a directory listing of the root directory and change into a subdirectory but getting a directory listing of that directory timed out. The same connection works fine from my friends home network so it isn't a permissions issue. I'm at a loss of what to suggest, they are using smoothwall express v2 between their switch and modem but that hasn't been updated for months so is unlikely to be the cause, just in case it was playing up we tried rebooting it and the problem still persisted. The problem has been happening for over a month now but nothing has been changed in a lot longer than that so it shouldn't be a config issue. I've suggested talking to their ISP (BT) to see if they can suggest anything. Has anyone here got any suggestions of what to try, I'm completely stumped!
