That's the same info I got from Verizon. There are multiple threads on this topic http://tomtomforums.com/showthread.php?t=3328&page=3. Very frustrating.
I see on your post in the other thread that Tomtom is now aware of this problem? Hopefully they can resolve this soon so I don't have to "spoof" my IP just to get to their site.
They're aware, but say that it is out of their hands. I used Tor to access the TomTom site, but I still can't get Home to work. I selected "Manual Proxy Configuration." Set the proxy to "localhost" on port "8118" but still get the "No Internet Connection" message. Tor is running... Any idea what could be going on? Thanks.

Website Down
I have not been able to get to www.tomtom.com for 2 days. Tried everything to get something. Got into their commercial routing site which had a link to tomtom.com...but that link did not work either although the commercial site worked for most tabs.
They are going to lose a lot of business this xmas season. Got my 510 as a gift and it worked fine except says I need to update...now that is impossible. Makes you want to give it away and go buy a nuvi...but I'll check their website first to see if I can get support

I just got off the phone with Tom Tom, the reply I got from them is that it is a traffic issue, to many people on the site.
One thing very interesting
On Verison DSL with a wireless router
comupter 1, wired into router, will not contect to Tom Tom, however when I activate my VPN and go to my company server then to Tom Tom, I get in and get in fast (no video, that is blocked) and I can navigate around.
Computer 2, wireless to same router, no VPN, will not contect to the site, this is also the computer that has Tom Tom home on it and it will not work either, can not even get Quick fix.
On a side note, when I conect my 720 to my phone (verizon and a treo 700wx) and navigate to plus services and select quick fix, it downloads no problem.
why am i being blocked from the site, is there anything that i can re-set Internect Explorer? Tom Tom support did not nor were they willing to help.

Got a reply from tom tom support
Oh this is a good one. Oxymorons galore. I sent them an email to ask how to get to their site. See the reply below. They don't address the problem and says they can not reply to my message because they don't use the email address I sent the orginial inquiry.

I have been on the phone since 9:00 am EST with Tom Tom, they now say it is a problem with Verizon Blocking. it is now 12:00 EST and i am on hold with Versizon, who by the way says they do not block sites.

It is now 12:51 PM EST and I have been moved by Verizon support to premium support to which I have to pay. However someone has to get to the bottom of this. I will keep all posted

Try powering down the modem and or router. Wait about 15 min, then power them up. First the Modem, then if you have it the router. at each stage wait for all your staus lights to appear, before you do the next step. This will force the unit to aquire a new IP address, that might just do it.
Yep, I went through the same steps as ctxx24 with Charter support on the phone. They supposedly even went as far as canceling my account and reassigning it. Unfortunately, even that did not change my IP address. Not only did it still begin with 97.xx.xxx.xxx, all of the numbers stayed the same.
Finally I was told that it was out of their hands and that I would have to wait for the DHCP to change my address which could take up to 24 hours. That was three days ago, and I still have the same IP and cannot access tomtom.com without a proxy.

anonymoused.org
I finally used anonymoused.org to access the site but it does not let you login unless you get their suscription. My Son-inlaw told me to do the following:
"Make sure you add the Tom Tom site as a trusted site.
Also, that site may be attempting to execute either
Javascript or Active X code. So you may want to
enable Active X and Javascript to test this. IF it
works, add the required settings to your "Trusted
Sites" and then be sure that Tom Tom is trusted."
I'm still working on these instructions as I'm not a network or IT guy. Everything I read previously on this site I've experienced or tried. Verzion gave up after I allowed them access to my computer and reset my settings....says it's my computer??? I was on the phone with TT for twenty minutes they logged the issues I presented but said too many people are login and thats the problem..yea right. I'm going to try wireless connection at a starbucks or something to see if that network blocks this web page...it that don't work I just blow up my computer and tomtom together.

Website Issue Fixed!
It appears that TomTom support has come through and resolved the issue of some people not being able to access their site. I received a very knowledgeable response from TT Support yesterday acknowledging the issue and reporting that they have identified the cause. Since the problem was not with TomTom, they were working with one of the handlers of the internet traffic coming into their site to resolve the problem. I did not expect it this quickly, but I have now successfully logged on to the website and finally have Home working correctly. If you were previously having issues because your IP was being blocked, you may want to try again today to see if you are also able to get through.
Thank you TomTom for addressing this issue and implementing the fix.
