OS Forums Blocked at Holy Cross

[ComfortablyLomb]

I had this issue in the late spring and forgot about it entirely when I returned home for the summer... but as I'm going back tomorrow it just popped into my head. One day in (March/April) I was simply unable to view the OS forums from on the Holy Cross campus. I tried other computers on campus and still couldn't get into the forums.

The main OS page would load, this one:

http://forums.operationsports.com/vB...cmps_index.php

...but when I clicked the "forums" button on the left side an error page would come up saying that I couldn't view the page I was trying to reach. I contacted the ITS department at Holy Cross and they said the problem wasn't on their end and suggested that I contact you guys to see if you had blocked/banned at IP address at the school that inadvertantly blocked all IP addresses at the school. I was just hoping you would look into the problem if you had a chance because I would like to surf here occation when I go back to school.

Thanks,
Mike

I've checked all the banned IP's, and there are no matches. I'm not sure it could be anything else on our end.

Thanks for checking so quickly Sully, I appreciate it.

I'll see if it works tomorrows... and if not I'll take it up with my school's ITS department.

I've tried a proxy before and OS won't allow logins through one.

If the proxy is anonymous then it should work. (tried it before but its a pain finding a working one thats not slow as hell)
