As many of you know, I’m an editor at GuildMag<\/em>, an online magazine devoted to the ArenaNet games Guild Wars<\/em> and the soon-to-be-released Guild Wars 2<\/em>. Yesterday, I’d been on the GuildMag<\/em> site several times to update our most recent beta coverage post<\/a>. Around 5 pm, I’d added a few entries to the blog post and saved the page (it’s a WordPress blog). The page timed out on me.<\/p>\n

Not a big deal, just reload the page — but it still won’t reload. It’s not just the blog UI, it’s the whole site that is inaccessible. Several re-tries, but no change. I posted a Twitter update<\/a> to let people know that the site was temporarily down and that we’d be back as soon as possible … but I was told that the site is fine: it’s apparently just me<\/em> having connectivity problems. Well, it was getting toward time to break for dinner anyway, so I logged off for a few hours.<\/p>\n

Later that night, I still have the same problem, but on a different computer (that is, it’s not just my laptop being unable to load www.guildmag.com<\/a>). That means the problem lies somewhere between our wireless router and the site. I took my laptop down into the basement and directly connected it to the cable modem, but the site is still inaccessible (so it’s not our router that’s suddenly allergic to GuildMag<\/em>). I did a “whois” search to get the IP address (81.169.145.152). Still can’t connect using the IP address in Chrome, Firefox, and IE.<\/p>\n

The editor-in-chief says<\/em> he believes me, but clearly suspects that I’m trying to avoid some upcoming work…<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: Ah, thanks to a suggestion from Marc, I tried connecting to the site on my iPhone: it works on a 3G connection, but doesn’t work when I use the wifi.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I ran tracert<\/code> to the IP address, and it’s not exactly instantaneous:<\/p>\n
