Topic: Weird DNS problem of some sort... HELP PLEASE...

[psoren]

OK, i have NO CLUE about this and why, but i can describe it.

If i go to: http://www.evga.com Then it does not work for me either, BUT
If i disable HTTP proxy status in the server manager, THEN it works!!

I had the same problem on another page and found out that they had blocked access from LAN IP adresses (192.168.x.x and so). The thing is that when checking my IP on a page: http://whatismyipaddress.com/ it reports my LAN IP (It can see there is a proxy).  But if i try here : http://myip.dk then it looks normal.
So i tried to disable the HTTP proxy and then it is OK on both.

A bug or is it normal/expected??

Hope this helps Chal...

Yes Per, it works for me as well.... THANKS BOYS....

Thanks Charlie.... Thanks Per....

What I don't understand is the why and whatfor of it all....

What do I gain or lose by turning the HTTP proxy off?

Why would this problem manifest itself on only a few websites?

MIL GRACIAS...

Furthermore, what I don't understand is what has changed. I never had this problem before and I have used this site quite often... So is it something they have changed, or perhaps something that has changed in one of the updates to SME?

Not that it matters anymore... you guys figured it out...

I think having a proxy is enhanced security, that's good until things stop working
