Ham Radio site not loading - only via my home network
« on: June 06, 2025, 02:48:42 PM »
I have been struggling with a strange problem with our Ham club web site. (it is a no-WX version of Saratoga)

I have been able to access it via my Verizon cell phone connection, other Hams in our club via another ISP (Frontier) and my next door neighbor and Dad also using Spectum can access it.

If I connect my laptop directly to the cable modem, I can reach it just fine. I have Tied an older router/gateway (UniFi) with the same result. Even ping doesn't work. Tracert shows it going out. I spent over an hour with UniFi support and I think that they are just as stumped as I am.

I can access everything else on the web, including my other sites hosted at the same hosting company.

I appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Thanks,

Greg H.

It accesses fine from here.  Perhaps your computer needs its DNS flushed as it has some old address stuck in it. From a command prompt run 'ipconfig /flushdns'. See if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. DIdn't work, but since my Linux box and phone via WiFi don't either, it's not isolated to the Windows machine.

I re-subscribed to NordVPN (let it lapse a couple of years ago) and I can get to picarc.org using VPN.
A work-around, but I was getting nowhere the hardware supplier and my hosting service...
