+StressMaster Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 (edited) Wow got a new one today... has anyone been hit with this one or is this just for me... not sure why this would happen.. AV is good ..Firewall is set right...the only thing that I did in the last few days was add http://members.aol.com/GeocacherBB/locationless.html to my mobile Favorites folder for my pocket pc..Can't see how that would cause a problem.. any info would be appreciated.

+bons Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Could be someone on your IP block has been spidering the geocaching.com server and geocaching.com has had enough of it. http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/ will display your IP address if anyone at geocaching.com asks. I'm assuming you already know who your ISP provider is. Link to comment

King Cyclops Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I got that exact same message and I am trying to figure it out. I haven't had any luck figuring it out either. And I was planning on going geocaching this afternoon. Link to comment
+StressMaster Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Just got this email IPs usually get blocked by the server as a protection mechanism when the server detects an unusually high amount of traffic from that address. If you'll send me your IP, I'll look into this issue for you. With as many people relying on this server it has to be on the safe side.. I'd hate to see the site go down hard and cause everyone the withdrawals that I have been having...... .. So I will wait patiently and see what happens... I still got my PQ so not so bad can still cache but just can't log them yet.. or update any new caches I have ready to put out... Link to comment
