Our internet is down for everybody at work. Our corporate sites don't work, Google doesn't work, our internal server drives don't work, our email doesn't work, nothing works for anybody. Except, this forum, for me! How the hell is that even possible?

Cuz this forum runs off you

Nah. I am the guy that says what gets blocked so if our IT guy is blocking me then he is in for a shock.

It sure is...And I don't quite know what to think of it. Did see a chrome Tesla while I was in Chicago last weekend, and that's something I sorta justified in my head. Just had that whole "future" vibe.

Have to resolve to stop biting all that sweet, sweet stinkybait.
It IS possible. Don't let other people dictate what you do here.

This is a stretch but you could be having a DNS issue and you just happen to have the IP addresses for this site cached, although I would have thought Google would have worked as well.

Second thought was you have a separate diverse path for internal vs. external routing, you inside routes to the Data Center are down, but you can still get to the Interwebs. Again, that would mean you should be able to get to Google though. Actually, if you have two or more connections to the internet, one of which is available and the other not, that could be hit and miss as well (say one connection in our Data Center and a second at another location). Routing should work around that though.

I'm curious now, if you find out let us know.

I think that Way's theory may be correct since this is literally the only site I can get to (nobody else can get to anything at all). Weirdest thing ever.
