Omega-TI Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've not been able to connect with the only TI BBS on the Internet for about a week now. Does anyone know whats up with heatwavebbs.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There appear to be some power-related issues causing the system to lock up. Kyle is trying to determine what is causing the problem; i.e., bad outlet, bad circuit, ground loop, etc. I'm sure Kyle will chime in if/when he has a moment.

+mizapf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Anybody knows what's up with Whtech's FTP server? During the last weeks I had only few chances to get a connection. Right now I keep getting timeouts on connection setup. Wouldn't be a problem if it happened only few times, but this seems to continue. $ ftp ftp.whtech.com ftp: Can't connect to `64.27.2.118:21': Connection timed out ftp: Can't connect to `ftp.whtech.com:ftp' ftp> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Grmpff ... looks like a routing problem out there. Something within the responsibility of the network providers, so we cannot do anything about it. Depends how you approach the target network. So I'm now disconnected from WhTech.

+mizapf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nothing important right now, but I just wanted to point someone to our FTP server, and now I can't reach it. And the fact that you don't have problems but I don't get through for the last weeks (with some few successes) is somewhat unsettling. Do other people here (Germany, Europe) have the same problem? Try to ping WhTech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Located in Denmark, 15 min. from the German border. FileZilla works excellent (tested 20 minutes). Command line ftp works fine. Ping times out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Wow, that's cool ... when I start a VPN connection to my office, I can connect to WHTech.

+mizapf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You have Deutsche Telekom as provider? Interestingly, wget also fails on my vServer at the Strato hoster. When I start from my office computer in Nuremberg, I'm getting a connection. Whtech is the only address known to me that causes trouble, so it's not just a simple matter of configuration. Neither ftp nor http works. Has Telekom been blacklisted by a network carrier? wget ftp://ftp.whtech.com/ --2014-06-26 22:19:09-- ftp://ftp.whtech.com/ => '.listing' Resolving ftp.whtech.com (ftp.whtech.com)... 64.27.2.118 Connecting to ftp.whtech.com (ftp.whtech.com)|64.27.2.118|:21... failed: Connection timed out.

Ping and Traceroute are going to use the same protocol to test (ICMP), so neither of those are much use at this point with being on the "inside" at the ISP. My guess; the particular ISP has chosen to "blacklist" WHTECH because they "feel" like it's illegal activity, therefore you must prove it isn't before anything will happen. Not an uncommon thing these days. Guilty until proven innocent, as they say... Of course, I could totally be off on this but, it sure seems like it's a blacklist if both HTTP and FTP are being killed. Of course, the other thing to be asking is; did WHTECH change anything? It's very easy for a IDS to automatically block stuff and never know it. Which is why I hate this guilty until proven innocent world we are becoming (starting in the digital arena). Try working with AOL who blacklists willy nilly all the time, how annoying to have to "try" and get ahold of AOL to un-blacklist your legitimate domain, PITA because someone else decided to use your domain for their spam, and I get cut. Just me little rant, don't read into it any other way... :-) -Dano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've not been able to connect with the only TI BBS on the Internet for about a week now. Does anyone know whats up with heatwavebbs.com? It is back up and running full steam ahead. Madhatter moved the system back to the other room, though there could still be something power-related to fix. Jury is still out. PS - just recently it was the BBS's third year anniversary of being online! PPS - Richard's may have resolved the baud rate issue on his BBS (The Hidden Reef) that was causing file transfer problems.

Omega-TI Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Heatwave is also starting to get busier, even though it's summer! The ANSI screens are being updated, I even noticed a new menu selection. It's looking real nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
