Some can open my forum, others can not. DNS seems not to be the problem. Any Idea?

Hi
I am helping a school to build a support forum for teachers and administratores.
its on a win2003 Server
Here is a test address:
http://87.116.45.17/smf/index.htm
It works fine from 95% of the users but others get:
"this page can not be displayed"

First i thought its a DNS problem,so i therefore used the IP address as shown above for testing but still the same thing.
I am not sure if there is anything i should check on the Server.
If i ping the domain name from Working mc and not working mc, it does resolve to the correct IP address.
Most users are in Denmark and it works fine for them.
Other users in Africa, 1 in Denmark, 1 in Norway.

Can anyone give me some hint what to look for, what questions you may have so I can answer them.Anything. I am normaly good in using google but just not sure what to search on.need some good advice here

Thanks
Morten

I have tried your forum from my PC and also checked through various Proxy services. Its just working fine. Check whether your Server Firewall has any black-list that allows only certain IPs.

It's not a problem about DNS. At least, not when you are using a direct IP address.
I suspect more a disconnection problem.

Hi .
Thanks for reply and your testing.
The Webserver is somthing i have put up myself so I do not belive its a blocking that has been setup on my server.
So conclution i guess is that its not my server or any settings on it.
I have a sisco firewall as well. I cant see that there will be any blocking of IP setup in that one eighter as I have not done it.

Thanks agian for your reply

Regards
Morten

For what it's worth, I opened the test link successfully on the latest versions of Firefox, Opera, Safari for Windows and MSIE7 from my MSN-provided IP in the United States. I thought maybe someone with the "wrong" browser might not be seeing the page.
