Can't access to my site after an average visit.but.

Can't access to my site except by clicking on an other site external link!

Hello all,

I'm not sure if it's the best Forum to post it so mods, you can move the subject if you want.

I have a problem with my site, and most of my visitors have the some problem too.

When we visit the site for some minutes, sometimes hours, the access is cut from time to time, but the site is not down (I can access it with my second computer while my first one can't), after a while, between 5 mins to 30 mins, the access works again, how can it be?

And the strange thing is that my visitors found a strategy, they can access my site when this problem occurs by clicking on an external link on another site to reach my site, and it seems to work everytime, how can it be?

Thanks in advance for the much appreciated help and sorry for my average english.

Are you on a shared or dedicated server?

Is there any chance you have mod_dosevasive turned on?

Sounds like maybe a server problem. It could be your .htaccess file, but it could, just as likely, be their problem. Maybe they installed some weird firewall software.

I'd see if I could nail it down repeatedly, and then contact the ISP.
