    is there a service that will check your web site from diffrent locations

    is there a service that will check your access web site from diffrent locations? Some peopel complain they cant access my web site from work but can access it from home.

    Maybe some ISP's blocked access to my web site and some did not. Maybe the people have a diffrent isp in the office and at there home.

    Sounds to me like your site was blacklisted by the offices' web filter. They usually do this for one or more of these reasons:

    1) They find your site racist, inflammatory, or in someway hateful.
    2) They think your site condones illegal activities such as hacking.
    3) They think your site condones the use of illegal drugs and/or the abuse of legal ones.
    4) They think your site is obscene or pornographic.
    5) They find your site "in bad taste."

    There's probably more, but these are the most prevalent ones.

    Many offices have things like WebSense installed which prevent employees from visiting sites of a certain category.

    For example, my website is blocked for a lot of people because it falls under 'occult'. The most commonly blocked categories are tasteless, adult, hosting, racism, malicious, occult, etc. See if that's the message they're getting.

    yes, i have seen thing like these and in most cases the problem is from the viewers ISP.

    for example some ISP block a range of IP Addresses for reasons best known to them(and oh, they always provide a reason).

    If your website IP fall under these(block) category, then your website won't be viewable by their subscribers
