jerkbox said:finally blocked elite for me....
at least i think they did....noone has really told me yet.
now what the hell am i supposed to do at work?
oh yeah....look for another job and stuff
today was not a good day for me
Well, there is a hope...
A lot of blocking software works on DNS name resolution. It can be easily bypassed by just entering the IP address of the site you want to see. For example, this is EF:
http://209.11.101.247/forum/
Flirtbox does the plat thing work for you I forget the link but have you tried it?

C&C is going to go way down hill if you and Dawgy can't cut each other up all day.

could it be our connection just had some kind of DNS issues today?
it was only that site...but then later on it was I_r_o_n T_r_y_b_e too....which is funny cuz i never go there....popped on there once or twice today to see if maybe anyone else posted somethng aboutb having trouble with elite....
so...i don't know what the hell is going on.....
I had a DNS problem at my work a while back but http://209.11.101.247/forum/index.php worked for me.

Page not found error probably means it isn't being blocked.
It could be a DNS issue. Did you try pinging the IP address and see if it made it? Do a NSLOOKUP on elitefitness.com (from cmd line) - if it doesn't find it, then you be having DNS issues.

A lot of IT departments block anonymizer sites as a matter of policy. I hope for your sake they haven't...

elitefitness.com was always blocked for me. But I used to get in through boards.elitefitness.com ??? Now I go through expertpc
I doubt they blocked it, sounds like something else.
If traceroute went on for a while hitting different addresses and only started giving you timeout errors after a half-dozen lines or so, that means that some site "upstream" of you is having a connection issue. It just happens to be between your office and EF. (The old story about how "The Internet was designed to route around damage and survive a nuclear war" hasn't held true for a while now... certainly not since the beancounters got in on the action.)
Look at the names it gives you; the first few are machines there in your office, but pretty quickly it should start hitting your ISP, then one or two machines out on the Internet somewhere. Unless you've got a really sucky connection, by ten or twelve "hops" you should be here.
