MYADSL being blocked on Telkom 5102G Router

[nictron]

Hi All

I wonder if any of you have noticed the following.

Yesterday after a 7 Month waiting period Telkom finally installed our business ADSL line.

I took one of the Telkom ADSL 5102G routers and connected to the internet. All good and well, opened a few pages to test speed since it is a 1024 line. Now for the weird part!

I opened my browser and typed www.myadsl.co.za and the site was blocked. Could not access it. Then I thought that MyAdsl was down! But on my server I could access MYADSL over our Diginet. Huh, so I tried again browsed other sites and they where fine!

Why could I not access MyADSl over the telkom router? Other routers worked fine!

Is telkom somehow blocking MyAdsl over its new router? On the 5102G there is no wat to disable the NAT Firewall. So I could not see if this was the cause of the refused entry into MYAdsl.

Have any of you had this problem?

Regards

Nictron

They can be stupid but doubtfully that stupid Can you ping the site at least?

chances are telkom routings on the blink. give it a day or so, if you still cant access, then look for something fishy.

 

[cisco_trouble]

i doubt you being blocked.

 

[nictron]

No cant ping, but why am I able to access any other site, local or international?

Wierd I am able to access Hellkom but not myadsl mybe it is a routing problem!

 

[cisco_trouble]

clear ur cache, reboot router.

 

[nictron]

Is there a way to disable the NAT Firewall on that router?

Sent you a PM.

Try going Start > Run > CMD and press enter & then type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter.. then try myadsl again?

Well I think the conspiracy theory is obvious here...

Telkom dont want people going to a site which gives them bad review, so block it on their routers. the people stupid enough to buy their routers are the types that should never be converted.

If that's the case, I'm quite offended that Hellkom is still accessible!

Hi guys

I have also received reports that MyADSL could not be accessed last night, but that these people could visit other sites on the Verizon network... Very strange indeed...

 

[nictron]

Ok flushed DNS and can access MyAdsl now.

Darn I was looking forward sending this to ICASA, competition tribunal and any other legal entities to kick them in the butt.

Darn!

Thanks for the help.

Damn! I was just about to get my secret anti-Telkom weapon from my basement...

Lucky for Telkom I guess...

This is what "it" looks like when ready to move on Telkom's HQ.

A beauty isn't it! BEWARE TELKOM! I am training "it" to respond violently to any Telkom logo. It can take out cars, boxes etc.

I don't think ICASA actually DOES anything!
