Oh, I see. It's not that you can't log in, but that you can't access the web site at all.

If this is still a problem for you when you get home, could you please run a trace route on buzzerbeater.com and send me the results in a bb-mail? If you use Windows, you do this by going to the start menu, then "run", and then typing "tracert buzzerbeater.com." If you use OS X or any UNIX-like system, the command is "traceroute buzzerbeater.com"

I have exactly the same problem...
I hope that it isn't a "swiss problem"!
At home no connection with the site possible at the office everything is working fine!

I actually try to figure out the problem with my internet provider, we'll see....

From speaking with my ISP (in America), they think it's a Sprint problem. Specifically, Sprint is not passing through traffic for Cogent networks (http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/10/sprint-blocking-cogent-network.html)

My guess is, Cogent is somewhere upstream of BB's web servers, and the people having problems have Sprint as their upstream ISP. I know that my upstream ISP at my home connection is Sprint, and I cannot connect. My upstream ISP at work is not Sprint, and I can connect.

Great post.

I just did traceroutes from a couple of places, and Cogent does appear to be upstream of BB. Looks like people will just have to wait for Sprint and Cogent to kiss and make up.

(P.S. Here's a linked version of the URL you posted: (http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/10/sprint-blocking-cogent-n...))

Indeed, all of our traffic comes through Cogent.

It looks like the snit fit is over. I'm accessing from my "sprint" connection as I type this.
