Bob, The website seems to be working now. It's a bit of a cranky one. That's what I get for being cheap and taking a GTE/Verizon freebie. Paul www.PaulRoark.com

Dearest Paul, patron saint of carbon pigment printers, I regret to inform you that still, your website is run by mere mortals and, much to my chagrin, I have not been able to get it working for the last year. I live in New Zealand. Thank you for all your work. You give me hope when every Epson printer I touch has a malignant presence which takes offence at me when the printer sees me coming. This results in much expenditure of OEM carts just to see if I can get a perfect nozzle check. I just used emptied two OEM carts in attempting to get perfect nozzle checks, before installing a CFS ... and, not wishing to waste NZ $100 on carts that will only be used for testing, I installed the CFS anyway ... and now two colours aren't working at all. (The printer of course worked perfectly after the last service.) But that's par for the course for me. So now I'm off to spend money I can't afford on more OEM carts:( But you, Paul, show that for some lucky people, the system can work and are a ray of hope for me that keeps me persevering, much to my friends' bewilderment - 'stick to the HP 7660!' they say - yes, it works, but not for A3 prints, and not for Photo Rag ... and the front-loading feeder has always been a dubious design in my opinion - A5 paper of 280gsm prints crooked. So thanks for offering that hope in the midst of my despair. Keep up the good work. I only hope that things become more reliable in the near future.

I live in Australia (Australian Capital Territory) and have never been able to access your site. An expat American, I've never been able to access the (US) Federal Voter Assistance Program website from home either and was told by someone that there were problems with my ISP (iPrimus) and that website. I've been able to access FVAP from work so I'll try your website tomorrow from there. I'll see if I have more success and let you know.

Here are some diagnostic things that might be worth trying.
First, try your web browser at
http://www.paulroark.com [presumably this is what's failing?].
That seems to be a redirect [that's managed by yahoo?] and sends you
to:
http://home1.gte.net/res0a2zt/photos.html
Does that work?
If not, maybe it's a nameservice issue. Does this work:
http://206.46.189.90/res0a2zt/photos.html
[when I do this one, I get the text of the page, but not the Army Pass
image].
If you're on a geeky enough machine (e.g. something unix?), you could
see if you can reach the machine at all with:
ping 206.46.189.90
which works for me (so we know the machine's not swallowing pings).
If you're one of the people who's having trouble, try some of these
and let us know how it goes.

Thanks George. I am pleased to have that explanation. Peter Marquis-Kyle

George, Thanks for the information. You wrote in part: >Apparently many, many, many verizon's home-based users end up with >viruses, etc... on their machines and end up wreaking havoc on the >rest of the net. This leads to networks black-holing the entire >address space in self defense.... I can certainly attest to the fact that my Norton Anti-virus program picks up viruses daily. I assumed this was normal for everyone these days. (In my view are solutions to these problems and the industry is messing up big time in not dealing with them.) It sounds, however, like the files on the servers themselves would be the source of concern that would cause systems to block access to them. My e-mail is, for example, not blocked by any other systems are far as I know. So, how would infected home machines relate to blocking the internet site access?

I am pleased to have that explanation. Keep in mind that this is total conjecture on my part (before I start getting letters from some company's lawyers...), but it fits the symptoms pretty well.... g.

[Again, this is supposition until someone at one of the ISP's proves it] Some networks take an aggressive/vigilante approach to trying to keep their users safe. When they identify networks that are e.g. sources of spam, or e.g. sources of scans by virus infected computers, or.... they block access to/from those networks. While it might be more fair to just block access to the misbehaving machines, the Internet's routing tools don't give them that fine of a scalpel, they can only make decisions in fairly course routable hunks. Sometimes only email traffic gets blocked, other times entire network blocks are "black holed". I know that many sites will not accept email from any machine within Concentric's (my DSL provider) networks, which doesn't bother me because I relay all my mail through a well known and well-behaved network. I haven't had anyone complain about having trouble getting to my web stuff (e.g. http://www.alerce.com, although it's not always on the air...). Yes, this is paternalistic, some users appreciate being kept safe, others chafe being denied access to usable sites. One of the most frustrating aspects is that there's rarely any clean way to figure out why you can't get from here to there, you just "can't" (as we're observing). If it turns out that home1.gte.net is actually the ip address of a big server somewhere in a big ISP's data center then the particular reason for it being black-holed looses some luster, although the explanation still fits the symptoms. g.
