# Pingback and Traceback not working

 * I’m running WordPress 2.1.3. Until last week, when another blog (or myself) posted
   an article, referring to one of my posts, there appeared a new comment on my 
   site. Something like the comment on [this](http://www.lommers.org/2007/01/24/google-image-labeler/#comments)
   page. This is not working any more. I did not change something on the server 
   or the script/plug-ins. What can be wrong? Where do I start looking to correct
   my problem?

 * Okay, after testing a lot, I found out that while ASKIMET is activated, NO other
   blog can send me a trackback or pingback. Anyone with the same problems?

 * Akismet doesn’t make pingbacks and trackbacks stop, although it might think that
   they are spam. Have you looked on the Akismet spam page to see if the trackbacks/
   pingbacks are showing up there?
 * If so, and they’re not spam, verify that they are not spam, and they’ll suddenly
   appear on your blog. This will also tell Akismet that they are not spam for future
   reference.
