Hi there,

Willy has not managed to get the actual XML from your project since some days. Here's a link to his forum about this matter:
http://de.boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=3354

To quote him:

Don't kown. The servers do not have access to PS3Grid, pinging from the servers to PS3Grid fails and downloading content also fails, while it works from my workstation here.

Either the routing between the servers is messed up somewhere or PS3Grid is blocking BOINCstats IP's.

Is he really blocked or is it something on his side?

Hi,
I forwarded your message to our system administrator. I have no idea where is the problem.

This is the answer of our sys admin>

Hi Gianni,
looks like a problem somewhere in the network path:

No idea who's 130.206.206.202 but is beyond our network, so I cannot do much about that.

If it's a router misconfigured or having problems, the people who manage it will notice and fix it soon.
If for any reason they've blocked us we'll know soon too, in fact problably we would know already (usually people denying access or blocking access to/from a net don't do it without telling the network admins, and IMIM IT staff would've told me about any complain on our subnet or about any server of us.)

pixelicious.at - my little photoblog

It's been fixed now :)

Problem is solved.

According the the techs at the datacenter it was a misconfigured router somewhere between their network and the datacenter of PS3Grid (uhm, duh!).

Anyway, it's working again.
