I just had an idea as I have been getting more and more of this message lately:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Network Error

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"

The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

As have been pointed out by others they are not in a hurry to fix these problems. Maybe they would hurry more if we could make them look stupid outside Thailand? Loose face? We all know it is a long, timeconsuming and aggrevating experience to try to work this out through support. What if everyone sends mail to the host they are trying to reach everytime they get the message. I say this because a number of the sites I can not reach are news sites that could spread the word that they are being blocked somehow by major thai ISPs. Please assist.

the message your recieving has nothing to do with resticted sites,

i think you will find its an ISP problem,

lately the connections from most ISP's have been slow at best (my opinion, both internet here at work and at home has been slow and im on 2 diff ISP's),

hence the reason you getting "operation timed out".

I know the sites are not blocked like the sites that are being blocked by ICT. But you see this message IS generated by True(in my case) and not the server you try to connect to so in a way they are blocking. Maybe it is because their network is not configured correctly, but it is still a block; you can not get to the server. So maybe they would work on it if people complain and expose it more. I have sent my first mail already. I had to do so using an encrypted SSH tunnel because I could not get to mail.yahoo.com normally. In that case I got a normal the server did not respond and not the message generated by the ISP.
