when I'm on the DC server/TestMy.net Home page, and hit the Test My Internet button, I get a blank Safari page with only this message: "Could not connect: Host 'XX.XX.XX.XX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" Note - I X'd out the real IP address.
It doesn't give me this error on the Dallas server. Also, if I go to the server select page and choose the DC server! it will run a Combined test if I choose the "Combined" link in the text/link box right below the Test My Internet button. However, when the test completes, if I hit the ReTest button, I get the same error.
On the Dallas server, I don't get this error message doing any of the above. Also, I've never had this error before today.
it exhibits this behavior on both the iMac running OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1 and my iPad 2 running iOS 7.1.2
I've tried resetting Safari - no help. Rebooted the computer - no change
Other info: if I run individual Download and Upload tests on the DC server, there are no issues.
Also, I've made no changes to either the iMac or iPad hardware or software. I don't know exactly how long ago this problem started. I noticed it today, but I haven't run Combined tests for a while. I've been running (almost exclusively) separate download and upload tests with fixed sizes on both the Dallas and DC servers the past few weeks
