Mediapartners-Google is used by Google Adsense.

It is blocked because you use adsense and it's shown in admin.php Laughing

Shure you could fix it and a google search for "Mediapartners-Google robots.txt" would provide you enough info.

Sorry but as I am using google adsence does this mean I must allow this ?
thanks for you help, also its Nuke Sentinal that blocking both these sites and I have no idea how to allow them to be allowed in sentinal? I have had all other versions for the past year and never run into this before?

No, you shouldn't have to. I'm not aware of any problems, but you can always manually add these ranges to your protected ranges. For further information about Google IP's and many others, you might visit http://www.iplists.com - specifically http://www.iplists.com/google.txt for Google.
