[tkin]

Ahh i should have posted a screenie came then itself to quench the doubting thomases in here...

Please take a look at *i34.tinypic.com/s2bfrm.jpg

Convinced.Sorry, my bad.
Just incase 1.Which is your ISP(is it BSNL?)?
(If not then it's BSNL that's causing it.)
2.What's your DNS server?
Should I visit the Orkut broadband community?

So its my local BSNL provider(Kolkata) thats causing it.If not fixed by next week I'll call them up and really gonna give them something to remember. This is really bugging me.
Could you confirm whether this page is accessible- www.filehippo.com ?

I have a class A ip address from bsnl and had been experiencing the same problem.

The problem is with the bsnl dns servers, I resolved the hostnames with bsnl dns servers and open dns and got different results.

Switching to open dns should resolve the problem.

Dude, give me your dns server ips

 

[tkin]

Dude, give me your dns server ips

They are:-

Primary-61.1.96.69

Secondary-61.1.96.71

I can access your second dns server, and got the same results as with my bsnl servers

G:\>nslookup www.youtube.com
*** Can't find server name for address 61.1.96.69: Query refused

switch to opendns and type nslookup www.youtube.com in cmd
You should get different results and be able to access it

I just looked up uk.yahoo.com, www.youtube.com and in.youtube.com.
Seems the DNS servers fail for the last one and in case of the 2nd one the site(www.youtube.com) redirects me to in.youtube.com and so it fails.
Can access youtube only through the first one(uk.youtube.com) and setting the site preference to worldwide(www.youtube.com) from there so it doesnot redirect me.Still can't access my account as its in in.youtube.com.

BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST WALL.
Thanks for the help-RandomNumber.
What do you think? Should I call BSNL-Kolkata and ask them?

Did you try them with opendns?
After switching to opendns you can also try flushing your local DNS cache by "Local area connection status->support tab->Repair"

 

[tkin]

Silly questen:-
Do I need to restart PC after switching to openDNS? cause I didn't and after switching still same problem occured.
P.S-I flushed my DNS cache several times> ipconfig /flushdns
No luck.Think should wait.

No, you don't need to reboot.
If everything is done correctly, on doing a dns lookup you should see..:

G:\>nslookup www.youtube.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: youtube.l.google.com

Will do it again now.
One last questen-CAN YOU ACTUALLY OPEN THE SITE
(*in.youtube.com) IN A WEB BROWSER?(The top of the page should show India:English or something like it)
Also state your IP range(59.93.x.x/117.x.x.x/Other)-Need to verify whether I'm being blocked.

 

[RandomNumber]

My ip starts from 117.*.*.*
and

and
*img299.imageshack.us/img299/3093/youtubedn3.jpg

That's it then.
Final Conclusion:-
YOUTUBE INDIA IS BLOCKING 59.93.x.x but not 117.x.x.x.
Other users have confirmed it.Mailed them(service@youtube.com).Waiting for reply.
