Hifisim blocking my IP address, or website down?

Featured Replies

Hi all,I'm not sure if the hifisim website is actually down, or just for me... I checked it on http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to see if the website had crashed, but it showed that it was working. Seems my ASA program can't connect to the server to download weather, and I can't call up the hifisim.com website (it says "we've moved, you will be redirected.") Is anyone else having this problem?

Same for me! / Leffe :(

I get redirected (with the redirect page mentioned above) from http://hifisim.com to http://www2.hifisim.com, which appears to be an invalid hostname. If I type in the full www.hifisim.com, it redirects me to www2.hifisim.com with no intermediate page at all, and still get the invalid DNS error....No weather updates in the program, either, both servers are unreachable...

Down for me too. Doesn't appear to be a DNS issue, since nslookup returns this record:
D:\>nslookup> www.hifisim.comName:	www.hifisim.comAddresses:  8.15.7.107		  63.251.179.17		  65.200.200.47

Tracert shows the following:

D:\>tracert 63.251.179.17Tracing route to 63.251.179.17 over a maximum of 30 hops  1	 1 ms	<1 ms	<1 ms  192.168.1.1  2	 *		*		*	 Request timed out.  3	19 ms	 7 ms	 9 ms  66.185.89.37  4	25 ms	26 ms	12 ms  64.71.241.93  5	97 ms	24 ms	25 ms  64.71.241.118  6	26 ms	25 ms	25 ms  162.97.119.153  7	64 ms	63 ms	69 ms  INTERNAP.ae0.421.ar3.DEN2.gblx.net [64.209.103.54]  8	62 ms	62 ms	71 ms  border8.ge3-1-bbnet1.den.pnap.net [216.52.40.13]  9	63 ms	89 ms	69 ms  allmar-4.border8.den.pnap.net [66.151.163.98] 10	 *		*		*	 Request timed out.

Looks to me like a downed router.

Hi Gang.I can confirm that the weather server / site is down.I have tried with different options and it just won't download any weather updates.We will just have to wait for it to be fixed I guess.

Yeah... no complaints, just wanted to make sure it wasn't roadrunner/parental controls blocking it thinking it was porn or something!

Same here. Of all days. My first day off in 8 days and back to work tomorrow. Now I have to use FSX real weather. :(

Everything appears to be down. The weather download server and the HiFi site itself.

Hi All,The DNS company was experiencing some technical issues today, but we were able to get a hold of them and everything should be up and running again. We are sorry for the brief interruption in our service.Thanks!
