Guangzhou Website down

Recommended Posts

Hi All:

 

I have been trying for the past few days to access the guangzhou website with no luck. I have tried using IE and Firefox web browsers, again - no luck.

 

Is it just me, did the website address change, or is it really down for some reason?

Appears to be working fine, both with and without my VPN - http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/

 

I've been there more than once recently.

Thanks Randy, Are you in China?

 

For some reason, I still can't access it and I am in Seattle, USA. I changed my IE security and still no go; it just time-out and then stops when I try to access. ...

 

Yes, I am, but my VPN is in Los Angeles (like I'm accessing it from there).

You may want to get the computer checked for a virus or malware, some malware install browser helper objects, that attempt to redirect you to their so called search engines.

Speaking of redirections, many (if not all) computers at the consulate are of course physically in Guangzhou but connect to the Internet through a network in Washington D.C. The web site appears to be on a less secure network.

 

Even though the web site is up, I go the following information from a ping:

 

Host info guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn 2/3000/50/0; 01/04/12 13:21:21

 

Official name: a442.g.akamai.net

IP address: 65.197.244.9

65.197.244.42

Aliases: guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn

www.state.gov.edgesuite.net

state.georedirector.state.akadns.net

 

ping 65.197.244.9 packet 2 failed, retcode = 11003 (Host Unreachable)

 

 

 

and from whois.arin.net

 

MCI Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a Verizon Business UUNET65 (NET-65-192-0-0-1) 65.192.0.0 - 65.223.255.255

WS/Akamai Technologies/Akamai Technologies UU-65-197-244-D6 (NET-65-197-244-0-1) 65.197.244.0 - 65.197.244.255

 

So this computer is definitely on a network in the U.S. Like I said, though, it may still physically be in Guangzhou.

 

 

I would look at your own computer to see what security or filtering software is on it, including like Dan suggests any malware or virus.

ok, thanks All!!!

 

I restarted and cleared cache and still can't. I'll try to connect from my office computer. If I can, then I know something's going on with my home machine. Im glad GUZ is online and nothing is wrong on their end. ...

 

cheers
