I have internet service via CenturyLink DSL. I am getting an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error when I try to access a particular website (198.58.101.168) from any computer on my network.
Details:
I have tried to open the site on computers running Windows 10, macOS
High Sierra, and iOS 11.0.3 that are connected to the internet via my CenturyLink modem. They all time out.
I have tried using computers that are connected to the modem using both WiFi and Ethernet.
I can visit this site this site using my AT&T iPhone when it is not connected to the CenturyLink network.
This problem has existed for more than a week.
Given the above, it certainly seems like it is a problem with CenturyLink.
I have restarted the modem (CenturyLink C1100Z).
I asked the website host if they are receiving reports of any problems. They aren't, and they get thousands of page views each day.
I ran "ipconfig /flushdns" on the Windows 10 computer (but again, this happens to Macs on this network, too).
I am not having problems accessing other sites.
The time-out problem also happens when I use the domain name rather than the IP address.
I don't know of anything changing on my end (e.g., a modem setting).
Testing:
When I ping the domain name or IP address on a Windows 10 computer (connected with Ethernet), ping reports "Request timed out" four times.
When I tracert the IP address, it gets through 10 servers and then times out:

I contacted CenturyLink and the support rep was clueless. He mostly offered solutions related to a Windows computer and failed to understand that this happens to any computer on my network.
I'm stumped...
Thanks!
It turned out my IP was being blocked (despite the host saying it wasn't). I discovered this by changing my static IP address.

Environment: Win8 64 bit, Office 2010 32 bit. Using tips seen here, I installed AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe as passive (so that it could be installed with 32 bit Office), and had no connection problems with Access .mdb files until two days ago. Now the connection fails on all .mdb files, with C# debugger showing "unknown error" with "external component". Connection string uses ACE 12.0. I changed nothing in code, which was compiled for 64bit.
The current Windows 10 IoT core (V 10.0.10240, Sept 2015) claims not to have tested the Raspberry Pi 2B on-board UART (physical P1 pins 8=tx, 10=rx) for serial io. Here is the list of officially supported I/O: https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/SupportedInterfaces.htm
Has anybody gotten this on-board UART Serial IO to work with Windows 10 IoT? Tips?
The October insider release has the onboard serial enabled. I have modified the serial example and have had mixed results so far. One issue that it has seems to be that if data is being sent to the pi while the port is being initialized, it throws an exception. Trying to work around it for now.
I've had an odd behaviour last week with a if condition and I would thank any one who has any idea of what had happened. Although I've found a workarroud I don't like to be in the shadows.
Let me explain.
Scenario 0 (this was working before everything exploded)
Langauge: Visual Basic
Net Fwk: 3.5
Client: XP (x86) machine (Winforms)
Database: Access on a Shared Folder of a Win Server 2008 (don't know if x86 or x64)
DB Provider: Jet OleBD
Office: 2007 x86
Why Access?
Low cost, MS Access available for the user and it fits all I needed.
And one day Win7 appeared:
Scenario 1 (here is when everything stopped working)
Langauge: Visual Basic
Net Fwk: 3.5
Client: Win 7 (x64) machine (Winforms)
Database: Access on a Shared Folder of a Win Server 2008 (don't know if x86 or x64)
DB Provider: ACE OleBD x86
Office: 2010 x86
In this new scenario, the application started to work wrong.
And the odissey begins.
First I tested the application on my development machine. The scenario was similar to Scenario 0 so everithing worked ok.
Then I started a Win7 test machine and tried to find if I could get where the problem was:
Scenario 2
Langauge: Visual Basic
Net Fwk: 3.5
Client: Win 7 (x64) machine (Winforms)
Database: Access on a Local Folder
DB Provider: ACE OleBD x86
Office: 2010 x86
I Test the application and everything works fine.
After crying like a baby for 2 or 3 minutes, I decided to connect to my customer's server through internet using my Win7 test machine.
Scenario 3
Langauge: Visual Basic
Net Fwk: 3.5
Client: Win 7 (x64) machine (Winforms)
Database: Access on a Shared Folder of a Win Server 2008 (don't know if x86 or x64)
DB Provider: ACE OleBD x86
Office: 2010 x86
Amazed the same application I run against my local DB, fails against the remote db (just changed the connection string in the config file).
I've started adding debug statement to the application and tested one and again so I could find why it doesn't work as spected.
Finally, I found that the statement
If FinalDate.Subtract(StartingDate).TotalDays + 1 = 7 Then
returns always False in Scenario 1 and 3 (ALWAYS!). And True or False in Scenario 0 and 2.
I've damned Thor and tested this change to the statement
Dim totalDays As Integer = CInt(FinalDate.Subtract(StartingDate).TotalDays)
If totalDays + 1 = 7 Then
As you imagine, this works fine.
But the question is "Why?".
WHY????!!!!
Any idea?
TotalDays:
Gets the value of the current TimeSpan structure expressed in whole
and fractional days.
So if you only need whole-days then it is safest to cast to Integer anyway, and avoid any possible concerns about the time-part.
I am using IIS 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine to connect to a MySQL server through ODBC driver 3.51.
When I developed the application in VS 2010, I created a 64 DSN (using c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) for the connection and everything was going great.
However when I have deployed the application on IIS, it is not using this DSN. So I created a 32 bit DSN.
Now I am facing the problem of Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow on every other page.
Please help. How can make IIS use 64 bit DSN that I created while developing the application?
Check the Enable 32 Bit Applications setting of your websites Application Pool to switch between running your website in 32 or 64 Bit mode.
See How to Enable a 32-bit Application Pool in IIS 7 for details.
I have a server machine with Windows 2008 Server R2 Foundation installed, that I use for hosting SqlServer 2008 service. There is no additional user registered on the OS, the clients asks only for connection with sqlserver. I've notice that periodically some clients stop working when trying to connect to sqlserver, while in the same time other clients are working properly. I know there are some limits on concurrent connections for foundation edition, but I can't understand which limit I'm breaking. Some ideas?
Windows Server 2008 Foundation limits include:
15 User Limit
50 TS Connections
50 RRAS Connections
10 TAS Connections
30 SMB Connections
1 socket systems only
8GB maximum memory support
No virtualization use right
from: https://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2009/08/05/windows-server-2008-foundation.aspx
You can run sp_who and see all the connections that are being used but based on my understanding 30 is the limit.
