Default Can't resolve LS1Tech or SSU domains from Mexico?

Hey guys, I'm on a business trip in Monclova, Mexico. A few nights ago I tried to read a new PM that I received, and to my surprise the LS1Tech domain doesn't resolve from Mexico. Neither does SSU.

When I use my company's VPN connection I can get through, but that's it. I can see the site without the VPN if I directly enter the IP address (67.15.111.195). However, I can't log in.

Anyone else ever had this problem?

Thanks

The ISP you are using, may not be resolving the URL through their DNS services. Hence why you can see it when you enter the IP address - you don't use DNS then.

I've heard other reports of the same issue, but I can't seem to see any problem on this side -- every other country seems to have no problems, it's JUST Mexico as far as I'm aware.

Not true - I just got back from a business trip in Brazil, and I couldn't see the site anywhere! It wouldn't load from the hotel wi-fi, the internet access at the work site, or the wi-fi at the first class lounge at the RIO airport. It was the only site that I had trouble viewing down there. I can't think of any reason why the problem would be on my end, but I am open to suggestions. I had my laptop the whole time, but also had no luck when logging on to computers on thier end. I am working on a nuclear power plant down there, and I may have to go back down for a few weeks this winter. It would suck to have to go without LS1Tech for an extended period.

Is it in Coahuila? I've been there, that city has a nice 1/4 mile race track, its almost brand new, I believe it has been around for about 3 years or so. Its like a 4 hour trip from the border line. I am curious about what business trip you had to make? j/k

I've heard one other report where folks in Brazil could SEE a certain website (trading information site) but they couldn't actually log in. If they switched to https:// rather than http:// it worked fine though. It was eventually tracked down to proxy servers in the Brazilian ISP somewhere.

Can you add in a DNS server that's located in the US to your entry list? (under Advanced TCP/IP settings in Windows)

For example, one SBC server (off the top of my head) is 151.164.1.8
