Righto, very possible ... didn't you have this same problem a while ago Hippo - with another Registrar? Something about being from Borneo, I don't recall the full context.

 

[webscorpion]

I remember that you also had a similar problem before, Dan. But you're in New Zealand now, right?

 

[RJ]

EV1 blocks a lot of various countries' IP addresses from ordering anything. More info on their forum

http://forums.ev1servers.net/

 

[redhippo]

yep! i am in freezing NZ now....not in sunny borneo!!

oh no!! their forum says australia and new Zealand are blocked too. to think i was getting to a "better" region!! i need another good registrar!! help:gl:

 

[webscorpion]

I thought you were going to say "transfer to another region"

 

[Raf]

Wow, I never knew that registars block IP Address' just like that. I understand why though, they are trying to prevent countries that have a high rate of fraud. Thats probably why. :tu:

 

[redhippo]

is the US of A free from fraud.....my next move might be there or UK hehe

 

[Raf]

Hmm, thats really strange. They shouldn't be blocking IP Address' from users of the US. Its really odd.

 

[redhippo]

hey raf, your links are not working!!!:tri:

ipconfig in a dos window

 

[csmaster2005]

or, www.whatismyip.com
ipconfig doesn't work in all instances

 

[Raf]

You could always try using a proxy server and see if its your IP that is blocked or its just something with their website/scripts/and etc.

proxy would be a good idea to try

 

[Raf]

Yeah it could work, but you never know. It could be something wrong with their site.

some tips on how to do that?

 

[Riceman]

I had a similiar issue(not with domains) when I went to asia in the summer. I used a proxy and was able to purchase the service no problem

 

[nutcase]

You may be successful by going through a proxy service but...

If it was me and I was blocking IPs for whatever reason I would block IPs from IP ranges known to belong to Proxy services also.

with cmd-ipconfig i get this: 202.0.55.154

with whatsmyip i got this: 203.97.2.243

two IP addresss???:tri: somebody please help explain situation to me

thanks

 

[nutcase]

It appears as though the computer you're using has an internal network card assigned with a public IP address(202.0.55.154) but is routing outbound web traffic through either another local network interface or upstream router assigned to a separate public IP(203.97.2.243). Both IP's were pingable.

The ip address they are asking for would be the one returned to you from whatismyip.

Good Luck!
