Hello,
Since yesterday (at least, I haven't tried recently) I can't reach any stanford.edu address.

(Sorry, I have a French Windows version, but I guess it's not difficult to understand)
How can I know if I am blocked by Stanford or Stanford is blocked by my provider (sfr) ?
How can I communicate with Stanford (send calculated WU and download new V7 1.38 client) ?

I'm not sure what's going on with you
For the record, I can reach it fine. I'm in Logan, Utah but that's a lot of difference in the connections.

Thank Jesse,
I've noticed with online Ping / tracerout that it's not a global issue, but related to my configuration or provider.
Just in case that can help,
- I'm in France (Tours)
- OS : Windows 7 up to date, with Windows firewall (i've checked and suppressed blocking rules about F@H)
- Anti-virus : AVG 2011 free edition
- Browser : Firefox 7.01
- Proc : i5 750 @ stock
- F@H : 7.1.33.
As my computer is not yet running 7/24 I had 4 uniprocessor slot => 2 are still running, and 2 waiting to send >WU. I plan to run SMP 24/7 once I manage to download v1.38 (winter is coming, I need a heating system anyway).
My current log :

Thanks bruce.
The issue seams to come from our ISP SFR since we are at least 3 in the same case.
I guess a quick solution is to find a proxy to receive and send WU.
To get the new client I'll download it from work (tested yesterday, it works) and use a USB key to bring it back home.
