I'm not able to reach 207.142.136.174 (also via Cogent) either, which is forums.miranda-im.org. 207.142.136.0/24 *[BGP/170] 01:57:05, localpref 100 AS path: 701 174 ?

so.. is the problem that wikipedia's ip address is in a block of PA space of Cogent's and they feel it's walked away without their consent?
This space has been assigned to the same location, facility for years. The blocks affected that I know of are.. 207.142.131.0/24 - 207.142.136.0/24 Are all of them being reported as that now?

same location/facility doesn't mean that that place/people/thing still has authority to route the PA block... Like say the decided to stop having Cogent as a provider? or stopped payments to Cogent? or some other sort of snafu...

According to the lead developer, brion vibber: PowerMedium has assigned us a new IP space which is under their control (unlike the old IPs which were leased from Cogent under an older contract), and we will be transitioning to them over the weekend.

Cogent seems to think that they terminated a relationship with said company (one of what looks like many different hostway names at any rate), and gave them several months to renumber out of the IP allocation. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

I'm guessing this has nothing to do with that fact that hostway/neucom in the past had a large number of IPs hosting adult contents for cogent's unwillingness to do this financial transaction??

If they are blackholing Wikipedia because of a wiki page that doesn't describe anything besides some basic, publically known facts, they have some *serious* problems. -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Apple Valley, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.
