Sucks to be you! What happens when you browse? It's not impossible it's not blocked, but your office has some kind of DNS cache that hasn't updated. If it's blocked you normally get a message specifically telling you it is. Do this: start menu | run | cmd [enter] type in this: ping 306gti6.com If you get replies from 80.82.125.196, you're accessing the new site. If the replies come from 69.73.144.187, you've got DNS issues and are still trying to look at the old site  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

When I browse it just says my company has blocked the site just like things like YouTube and Facebook  but they use to let me on the old site. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Sounds like you need to make friends with someone in the IT department  It's not impossible they had an entire range blocked, it's easy to block (for example) every site hosted by Webfusion as this one is now. It's possible that's what they've done, whereas because the old site was hosted on some random IP in Texas no-one ever bothered blocking it. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I don't use it that often just when I get a spare minute but only to save my data on my iPhone. The iPhones a million times faster anyway. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |
