hey guys,

something strange is happening...

For my customers on a telecom adsl connection they are unable to access the websites http://www.gumbootrally.com or http://www.platinumwheels.co.nz yet I can't fault it anywhere else.. (i.e. 3G or with Voyager/Vodafone/Snap)

Can anyone else confirm if they can access the website if you're on a Telecom Internet connection?

Looks like a routing issue between Telecom and Webslice, I have a customer with website/mail hosted on 103.250.232.23

On their Telecom ADSL connection packets don't go any further than webslice.cr1.qst.vygr.net [114.23.32.46]

I am having a similar problem with form processing on my webserver (Nz domain) but hosted in Aus .

Telecom via ADSL at my work is timing out on form processing but I can VNC into my home pc and access the same pages via VDSL (again through telecom) and it works fine.

Now interestingly this has ONLY been a problem since monday or the weekend.

Also - I set up an IP address blackhole on a page within the server to tell me what my ip is.

Using my home machine the IP on the site states that it is being accessed via my home external IP (as expected)
but at work - the ip changes with each refresh of the page and is one of the global-gateways ips
in the range of
210.55.212. whatever

Customer service dont seem to have a clue and Complex problem team dont either.

This is causing me major issues with anything form related (uploading of data to sql or uploading of photos) which I let staff handle and instead i now have to upload using FTP along with a few other automated jobs which all worked until monday.

I literally dont have enough networking knowlege to argue it but some form of cache'ing or proxying is causing the problem and I just want my external IP to be my IP.

International http passes through a transparent caching web proxy on Telecom, weird that it would cause issues for your work connection but not your home connection.

Questions:
Are you sure you site is setting the correct http header so that dynamic content is not cached?
Could you host it in NZ?
Could you buy a ssl certificate and use https to access the site?

Thanks for those questions.

1. - i'll have to check
2. yes i could but in the last 8 years its not been an issue hosting it overseas (firstly in UK - then australia for the past 2-3 years)
3. again yes but 1. see answer above 2. plus I see it as a telecom issue which puts my back up having to get the company to buy ssl when its functioned perfectly til now.

Strange that its only been a problem since the weekend - obviously something has changed somewhere and no one is admitting anything .
Interesting also - its not limited to my sites that i need to access - others are also having issues that i literally heard about just now and that particular one - also based in australia.

Also - the problems are limited to form processing.
Normal HTML or PHP is sent without issue.
Go to a form upload data or fill in form or browse for file to upload - submit and ..... time out or page refresh.

Does the work connection have a firewall, proxy or filtering solution in place? Sonicwall, Mako, Fortinet something like that?

What do you see on:
http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test

Try the advanced check on:
http://www.whatismyproxy.com/

Also try a tcp traceroute and compare the route for your home and work connections:
