National Lottery Website.
My tracert also times out after 6 hops but I have never had any problems accessing the National Lottery online. My own gut reaction would be that you'd need to be looking closer to home rather than an external source blocking it. AdBlock etc etc.
I do know that when I was living abroad I couldn't access the National Lottery website from where I was living. Nowadays you have to be in the UK to use it. Presumably these IP addresses that are affected are registered abroad otherwise I suspect you wouldn't have any problems. Do you have the same issues with the BBC Iplayer?
The reason none of it affects me is that I signed up for a static IP not long after I joined PN .

Sorry to hear people are still having problems.
Put bluntly, because they belong to us and they make up the pool of addresses that we assign to customers with dynamic IP's. Whlst the IP's are registered to a company in the States, they are geo-located in the United Kingdom. There's plenty of information about this over in the thread here if you've a spare thirty minutes or so
For the sake of clarity, we have customers on the new network who are assigned static IP's outside of these ranges. It is true that some of you on dynamic IP's will be unable to get away from them at present though.
The National Lottery, and the geolocation provider they use have been contacted plenty of times before (you'll see reference to this in the other thread I linked to above). In fact, this issue with the site hasn't been seen until recently, and it has been possible to log into the National Lottery site before now when assigned an IP from one of these ranges.
Something must have changed recently and we're looking into it as per my post here.

Quote from: buseng12 You must be one of the lucky ones who hasn't been shoved on to this so called "new network" where you always default to 143.159. etc ip addresses whatever you do.

Quote from: buseng12 Needless to say it's still not working so again having to use precious mobile data, My only option is is to contact Camelot directly & inform them of the situation. See if they can force P/N's hand to sort it.
