[wolfdogs]

jr has been notified.

[Rhode Island Red]

Thanks for notifying JR. I haven't been able to reach here with any computer save my blackberry.

I haven't been able to get on lately either. There is a DNS issue. Whoever is hosting your site may have something configured wrong. Next time you can't get in, go to a command line and enter in:

tracert www.f-body.com


Copy and paste your results and send them to wolfie and I'll tell him what they mean.

This is what it should look like:

C:\Documents and Settings\user>tracert www.f-body.com

Trace complete.

The 72.32.184.17 is the correct destination. I need to know what happens to people when it doesn't work.

[Joe 1320]

I had the IP of the site traced and a bunch of servers simply time out.

I get a "windows cannot display the page requested".

[FroSSty]

WOOHOO! I am able to logon!!! I havent been able to log on for at least a month...Ill try the trace next time it doesnt work. Is there a good email to send it to?

[Gary94Formula]

This is the first time I have been able to get to the site in 6 weeks. I hope the problem has been fixed..

[Gary94Formula]

Still having problems... Comes and goes. It took me 7 times to get here once I closed my IE window. I will run a tracert

Ok - Most of the time I am getting an error stating it is unable to resolve system name.

When it does work, it looks like it routes anound half the country. From rochester, NY to Chicago, to Denver, to Dallas routers before it locates JR's 72.32.184.17 server.

Posted this in the other thread too:

Still cannot get to the site through "normal" portals, like my home or work network, but tethering to my phone works 100% of the time.
