Travis

Perform a DNS lookup on the domain.

Open a command prompt (this varies on different windows systems)
Type:
nslookup www.gatewaytoairguns.org

You should get the following response:
Server: UnKnown
Address: 2605:a601:716:6c00::1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: gatewaytoairguns.org
Address: 108.160.150.122
Aliases: www.gatewaytoairguns.org

If the Address shows a different IP than 108.160.150.122, type the command again, except add " 8.8.8.8" at the end:
nslookup www.gatewaytoairguns.org 8.8.8.8
to use google's dns server instead of your ISP. See if that resolves to the correct IP address.

That all checked out ok. Must be something simple I’m missing

Travis,

If using windows check you internet properties at control panel/internet properties/connections/lan settings all three check boxes should be unchecked.

All browser will check these internet settings by default.

If you see something filled in under proxy it may have been configured by malware to re route your traffic.

Next I would open an administrator command prompt and type in ipconfig /flushdns that will get rid of any cached dns entries

I wouldn't use a vpn software to anonymize your connection because when I first experimented with one for using my laptop at public hotspots I got a message that I was banned when I tried to access the GTA website.

If I think of anything else I'll post it.

I have noticed another issue today. I can't get into my GTA messages. It said to contact the administrator if it happens. How do I do that if the message system is down?

So I'll ask here!

Thanks,

Taso

Yep, "My Messages" is down. It's showing a database error. I did get a timeout error earlier when trying to connect to the GTA, probably during the reboot?

Totally different issue but that's fixed.

Mine did it too but I just figure DeZ was in there poking around. Sure wish I had as much free time as he does to goof off.

Still haven’t found the problem so frustrating

triggertreat · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2018, 11:39:53 AM »

If you haven't done so already, I would go into your router and reset the firewall to default. There should be an option for that.

Travis.. are you married? I know Betty Lou is crafty and this sounds like some of her doings.

I reset it to factory settings no go. It’s not my home computer it’s my network I’m using a Arris DG2460 cable modem/router and I’ve tried everything but it will not allow me on ONLY this website

oldpro · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2018, 01:44:49 PM »

I’ve turned off the firewall and all settings still no go what could possibly be still blocking me?

Open a terminal and type the following command:

traceroute www.gatewaytoairguns.org

Traceroute should detail each hop your request jumps through, and can sometimes indicate where in the path a packet is getting blocked. Doesn't always work great with NAT traversal and some other modern networking technologies, but its worth a shot.

Travis, if you want to, we can set up a remote desktop session through teamviewer or something, and have one of the computer experts look at your pc and network directly. I would be happy to spend a few minutes with it if you want to do that. Send me a PM if you do.

When you say open a terminal do you mean under CMD?

oldpro · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2018, 02:07:51 PM »

Ok ran tracert cmd not sure what I’m looking for but it’s there.

Here’s what I got

oldpro · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2018, 02:15:22 PM »

The attention to connect to GTA on my home network using any means always results in a time out error

ezman604 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 13, 2018, 04:14:48 PM »

The quality of the snapshot is not good enough for me to read the details but you are getting a timeout at ping #2 just getting to your ISP. From my location there were 22 hops to hit our GTA server. But the fact that the URL actually resolved to an IP address in your CMD window tells me it is seeing the end. Or it knows where it's headed anyway.

You are using AT&T and it is VERY possible they have blacklisted anything that has the name guns in it. Possible...
How many hops did it make and can you snap a picture that shows the string to the end? Maybe a bit better quality?

ezman604 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 13, 2018, 04:23:03 PM »

Travis, you're definitely not alone with this issue and AT&T. In searching the web, I tripped across this thread....and a remedy.

"Re: Unable to connect to certain websites, but other sites connect perfectly.

Literally had the exact same thing happened to me. None of my business sites were connecting, but netflix and many others were fine, and I was getting the exact same error. It suddenly happened to me on Feb 4. (not sure if it was related to some kind of change on either side) But I spent many, many hours by myself and on the phone troubleshooting this issue, with many different people. A tech just left 5 mins ago and he was able to fix the issue and I wanted to share it with anyone else that has experienced this frustrating anomaly. If this happens to you, save some time and let your rep know:

1. Resetting the modem will not work

2. Receiving a new modem will not work.

3. Changing DNS and Proxy settings will not work.

4. The issue is not with the host servers of these websites (well not completely)

What worked for me was having a tech come out and switch over my port. After he switched the port, he had to call ATT IT to have them assign me a range of new dynamic ip's and VOILA, it worked!!! I don't know if there's something about ATT's protocols that causes it's users to get blacklisted, but if this fix works for you it means your ip address has been flagged and blacklisted for certain sites. Who knows why, but it's definitely on ATT to fix, so don't let them give you the run around.

I hope this helps and good luck!"

I'd give their tech support in camel land a call. Oh, that's right, it's AT&T. AMERICAN Telephone and Telegraph. HaaHaa

Just for shoots and giggles, try flushing your DNS cache.

1.Open “CMD” and run as administrator to launch command line and type the following:
2.ipconfig /flushdns
3.C:\> ipconfig /flushdns

You should see:

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Done that a dozen times. Calling my provider I’m out of things to try
