Just for the record: even though I generally only understand about 10% of the comments on this forum, it's an amazing resource - thanks to all the experts for contributing / solving problems for us non-techies.
@PBCool / @CoolEscalator: I'm (clearly) no IT expert, but I struggle to understand...
Also on MTN as FNO and cannot:
Access some international sites (e.g. speedtest.net)
Access mail server (hosted by xneelo)
Run windows apps (like powershell) which are presumably trying to contact MS servers
Download Android system upgrade on mobile phone
All of these issues resolved...
Yep, fixed on my side too (sent a note to @PBCool this morning and assume he followed up)
Wish I was smart enough at Tech to do the things you can do :-)
Having exactly the same issue with Cool Ideas and connecting to my business server at 197.221.2.20 - no problem reaching any other sites - and my server is accessible via Vodacom ISP connection so no issues on that side.
Traceroute shows that I am also getting stuck at 100.99.2.179
Will call...
