Yes, it seems to be just you.
Work both fine here.

I had trouble in the past days and it seems a DNS problem rather then a webserver problem. When I can't connect my Vodafone internet provider received wrong dns entries however at the same time I could use a remote PC which has a different provider (Telekom) and no problems to access the repository/speedgeezers or srmz.

Only a DNS problem but I'm not sure who is causing this problem because it works usually from other providers.

yup, tkom here and bt at work, no issue with either of them trying to connect to the repository

It's almost a week that I cannot access any bcsims.com sites
no Track database, no Repository, no ftp site...
I've tried tracert tool but it seems that the request just stop before to even go thru

I know I've already ask but let me again since I'm bored
Does anybody had the same issue?
and if so, how did you fix it?
I'm using Telecom Italia as ISP.

Thanks

Ginetto here's my C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

67.19.230.162	gplr.bcsims.com
67.19.230.162	gpltd.bcsims.com
67.19.230.162	srmz.net
70.86.214.90	gplps.org	www.gplps.org
70.86.214.90	forums.speedgeezers.net

I checked now with them disabled and it works. German TELEKOM is my provider. Maybe an IPv6/IPv4 issue because it was like this in the past and it's been working not working.

On Vista/Windows 7 search for CMD, rightclick on CMD and choose Run as Administrator. In the console window typ (copy & paste from here):

notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add the five lines at the end of this file and close and save. Should work then.
I will try to reach Bill if he can explain this  but there might be a lot of problems related to our provider or the srmz DNS providers.
