blake

as i said in my post, it's only inaccessable from my home - otherwise it seems to work correctly (even from my place of work) i just don't understand how to get the subdomains back up and working from my home...they worked perfectly fine up until about three weeks ago. what could my isp do to prevent me from being able to access my subdomains - and only certain ones at that?

i'm sorry, i forgot two other subdomains: mt.exudate.net (movabletype) mail.exudate.net (squirrelmail webmail) the 'mt' subdomain always works, even from home, while the 'mail' subdomain (which i use for access to my email from work, as they do not allow access to the port specified over the corporate network for the webmail you have installed) does not work from home (it works fine from work, as with the 'gallery' and 'guests' subdomains in my last post).

i am having the same problems with certain subdomains on my site. i have several: blake.exudate.net (my main page) faq.exudate.net (my faq) gallery.exudate.net (my photo gallery) guests.exudate.net (my guestbook) i have never once had a problem with the 'blake' or 'faq' subdomain, but i have very little luck with 'gallery' and 'guests' from home (the folders DO work when not using the subdomains). when i try from work, it works perfectly fine every time. i used the DNS Lookup Utility i saw mentioned and all seemed fine. the problem only started recently with the subdomains not working right - only very seldom do the 'gallery' and 'guests' subdomains work (usually late at night) but ONLY from my HOME do i have this problem. the error message i get is: Gateway Timeout The following error occurred: A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request. (GATEWAY_TIMEOUT) you can understand my frustration, i'm sure. i understand that the subdomains are working on the TCH end and that it is my isp's problem (shaw.ca broadband) but getting any sort of answer from them is an exercise in frustration on a regular basis. what would you suggest i could do to remedy this problem? i'm willing to communicate with my isp to resolve it, i just have no idea what to approach them with - do you know what i mean? i figure if you could give me some tips on what information i (or they) require they may be inclined to help me rather than insult me and tell me that i'm probably spelling the url wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
