Hi Muscy

Thank you for pointing that out. The IP address AlfaLeader uses to login to AGORACOM is one which has been blocked access from our system. Internet service provider use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet, much the same way people use phone numbers to locate and talk to one another on the telephone. When you want to visit whatis.com, your computer asks a domain name system (DNS) server (think telephone information operator) for the correct dotted quad number (think phone number) for whatis.com and your computer uses the answer it receives to connect to the whatis.com server.

It would be simple if every computer that connects to the Internet could have its own static IP number, but when the Internet was first conceived, the architects didn't foresee the need for an unlimited number of IP addresses. Consequently, there are not enough IP numbers to go around. To get around that problem, many Internet service providers (including Rogers) limit the number of static IP addresses they allocate, and economize on the remaining number of IP addresses they possess by temporarily assigning an IP address to a requesting Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) computer from a pool of IP addresses. The temporary IP address is called a dynamic IP address.

Kindly be informed that the ban on the range of IP addresses you are attempting to use has been lifted and you should now be able to login to AGORACOM. AlfaLeader will be notified if the user experiences any login issues.

Thanks again for your message and for your patience with regards to this matter.

Regards,

AGORACOM Investor Relations
