Rep Power: 0 | I'm not able to access rapidshare.com since the past 2-3 days. I took the connection on 11th Dec 2008. I was working fine until 2-3 days ago. Now I just can't access rapidshare.com or download anything from it. Does airtel have the right to block any website? |

Rep Power: 0 | It happend just 2-3 days ago. It was fine before that. I don't know if its because of those mediterranean cable cuts or anything like that. It works when I use a proxy site like hidemyass.com |

Preferred DNS Server = 59.144.127.16 Alternate DNS Server = 59.144.127.17 Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network Connections > Local Areal Connection> Right click , select properties > Highlight " Internet Protocol TCP / IP " Click the Properties button , make a note of your Preferred & Alternate DNS somewhere or just take a screenshot and save it to your desktop , change it to the one mentioned above . Again right click the Local Area Connection icon and click Repair . I hope this helps . Try the Open DNS servers . I am sure that Airtel is not blocking anything , maybe the DNS server for your area / city has an issue , but I still feel it has to do with the cable cut thingi . As a matter of fact , browsing for me is slow as well , I have to keep refreshing the page 2 or 3 times to get to it , even Google takes time to open every now and then , sometimes it will fix itself sometimes it will start acting up again , I doubt that the DNS server change will make any difference . I contacted Airtel CC and asked them to transfer me to their Tech Support guys , they said that tentatively it should be fixed by the 31st of Dec . I hope this helps . | |

Rep Power: 0 | I can't open rapidshare and I can't even open the image shack link above. I've changed the DNS settings to the ones above. |

Rep Power: 2 | Are you able to ping the IP addresses of Imageshack or Rapidshare? If so, you can try editing the host.conf file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add lines IP address of Imageshack URL of imageshack IP address of Rapidshare URL of Rapidshare This file is used by the system for IP-hostname mapping. give it a try. good luck |

Rep Power: 0 | @Holydevil RS is not working for me also for the last 3 days... This happened a few days back also. Havent talked to the airtel guys though. Anyone here having any idea what the problem could be. I dont think it is still because of the mediterranean cable cuts. |
