Doesn't work for me either, server not found error.

untick automatically retrieve titles from external links and it will work when you post it. The tick box is under the post bit on the post page. Under the submit and preview buttons.

Still can't get it to work (the link that is)

Worked for me (Opera and Firefox) but then I'm with Zen!

It seems to be an issue specific to Be or my connection as far as i can tell. Gonna try openDNS tonight see if that helps, although I'm not convinced its a DNS issue.

for a long time i had trouble getting on blogspot.com .. nothing else, just that. worked from work, i just couldn't get on it with my be connection. then one day it just started working and has worked since

[javalord]

It could well be blocked due to Be's policy of blocking child porn by IP address rather than actual host. Drop them a ticket to be sure.

[Dreamscape]

have just been told by be

My colleagues from the Technical team will create a ticket in your Member Center and will keep you up to date with this issue. Basically some of our IPs are blocked by the website.

wonder why they are getting blocked

It's not blocked by Be - the traceroute is not blackholed to private 10.x addresses.

However, there are a few problems with the domain. The nameservers for it aren't responding, so my local DNS server cannot resolve it. The servers are ns[1-2].pointserv-network.com. DNSStuff's ISP-cached lookup doesn't return any results either.

However, OpenDNS does resolve it to 87.106.184.158, but my traceroutes to that stop after a oneandone.net IP:

its only blocking ip's from Be

probably nothing to worry about even if we can't access it. minor little website.
