a 403 Forbidden error

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have been trying to access a domain and this is what shows up..

Is my IP blocked? or is it my ISP that's doing the blocking?

It wouldn't be your ISP, what's most likely happening is the domain you're trying to access is a 'members only' area. e.g. you have to get yourself permission to get in. That is usually done via VPN, or something as simple as allowing specific IP addresses access.

ahh.. never thought of that.. makes sense.

Thanks for the reply
