Looks like there is a temporary roblem accessing your site from our server, please try to generate sitemap later.

Possibly your host blocks requests from our server for some reason. You can check whether connection is established using http header viewer.

Hi

I'm getting this problem too and the Header Viewer doesn;t return anything helpful to try to clear the problem.

Is there anyway that XML-SiteMaps.com can tell me what the error is that they are getting accessing my server?

I've tried to generate sitemaps for other sites on my server with no luck recently however it has worked in the past. My IP is 83.170.102.231 and one of the sites that doesn;t work is [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ].

Can anyone help?

THanks

Andy

Hello,

please contact your host to find out whether they have a firewall blocking access from the network where our server is located.
Also, you can install our sitemap generator script on your server.

I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to determine the IP address that xml-sitemaps.com uses to access my servers.  The last post says to look up the UP for xml-sitemaps.com, which seems to be 85.92.84.235.  Is this the IP address that xml-sitemaps.com uses to crawl for the free sitemap generation feature?

Thanks!

My web hosting company unblocked 85.92.84.235, and I am still having problems.  Is 85.92.84.235 the IP address used by xml-sitemaps.com to generate site-maps, or is there a different IP that needs to be unblocked?
