Hi Community,
The next thing we are going to do with respect to this issue is get in touch with Amazon S3 again and urge them to get in touch with Cablevision to work out these networking issues that is preventing Cablevision users from connecting to them. In order to do this, we would like to get some trace routes from some users being affected by this to Amazon S3's servers.
If you are being affected by this problem, it would be helpful if you can run a trace route from your ISP to s3-external-1.amazonaws.com and paste the results into a reply to this thread. If you are using Windows, you can run a trace route via the following process:
1) Select "Run" from the Windows "Start" menu.
2) Enter "cmd" in the ensuing field and click "OK".
3) Then, in the black DOS window, type tracert s3-external-1.amazonaws.com and press the "Enter" key.
You can copy the information in the black DOS window by right clicking within the window, selecting "Select All", and then holding CTRL and pressing C to copy the selected information. You can then paste it into a reply to this thread by holding CTRL and pressing V or by selecting "Paste" from the "Edit" menu in your browser.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide this information!
