I'm getting a persistent 28 connect timed out error and not getting any joy from my host or paypal. I've read all the posts and done everything my host has suggested. Nothing has making any difference.
Will it make any difference if I upgrade to V1.5 and/or change hosts?
No to the upgrade, yes to the changing of hosts. (but that seems a bit drastic).Quote:

I'm not saying this is the cause (and it is certainly not the only cause). 12 months ago I'd probably have never even considered this as a possibility, but as I say, there seems to be a growing number of instances every week.

Get your hosting company to email your server's IP address to [email protected] and ask that it be unblocked.
If they won't do that, then at least get them to change your site's IP address.
If they won't do that, find another host.
Your not the only one there. It's happening to me too. Paypal denied everything as said as it was a third party system they would not help. My hosting company is however looking into it.
Curious choice of words. I doubt PayPal "denied" anything. Perhaps a more correct way to say it would be that they advised you to resolve your communications problem by working with your hosting company.Quote:
