Hi guys,

sorry for being off topic but my site is written with CI and you lot are always really helpful.

I can access my site from work but not from home.

Any attempt to access my site, or any other site on the same IP address or the server directly also times out

here is the tracert from home

Trace complete.

so I am sure the problem is with Tiscali (AGAIN!!) Can anyone exlpain what the problem is becuase I hold out very little hope from Tiscali's technical support.

I think it is an issue with Tiscali and you'll have to correct it with them. Your packets are making it to the server and back but it's taking forever - your browser is probably giving up and saying 404 before you get a decent response from your server.

If running Firefox I am sure you can change the timeout in about:config.
