I'm getting this error right now using the MLU access, but Tortuga is fine. Anyone else, and where are you?

I just tried the .org address and no problem.

Have mostly been in via class 5 though ...

Clear now... and no, this has nothing to do with the banned addresses.

I could have sworn that I answered this with a very short reply, something like, "Good (about the clear for you now) and "Ok" about not the IP bans, but don't see it!!! AM I dreaming or did my post somehow get deleted?

I am still having periodic problems with the .org address. Yesterday and today it has been perfect.

Hi Geoff, I have got through on .org right now in New Zealand for the first time in ages.
Just as well you told us about the Tortuga address. It works just fine.
Cheers Terry

Right now the .org is not working. It has been hit and miss for sometime now.

No problems over here using .org. It has been OK ever since the new format.

Southeastern US. Using AOL exclusively since the change.

One in five times maybe, I will get a "nobody home" response but I just back out and try again and have been successful 100% of the time.

All operations once I am in are very quick, unlike the earlier version when load times from getting on to moving around to getting posts accepted were very tedious indeed.

Perhaps of some interest, I have no exotic firewalls or such and basically allow all cookies etc. and clean the mutt using XoftSpy and a couple of other similar programs daily. I also use the standard Norton Anti Virus setup, nothing fancy.

For whatever it is worth, it has been my experience on a lot of forums that AOL is a problem, particularly on non US based forum providers. When it becomes impossible to get on consistently, I use Firefox as a backup which usually works. The AOL problem can be fixed, it just takes some sort of changes on the part of the provider as I understand it.

I am not sure if I am making sense here as I am a total computer klutz but I think a lot of these problems being reported here are "handshake" problems that should be able to be resolved if the various members can let Jif know what specific type of "setup" they have on their PCs. Sorry, I do not know the technical terms, but how do you access the net, what types of protection do you have, how have you set up accepting cookies, etc. etc.

Just some thoughts for today.

Geoff,

For quite some time now I have had trouble getting MLU from my Google Favourites or even typing in the MLU address. Comes up no connection about 60% of the time.

Also same problem clicking on the links if I get a subscribed thread notification by email.

All other links and favourites work fine, only MLU problem.

Often the only way I can get in is to do a Google search and click on some old thread that google has picked up, bring it up then backtrack via the headings to the particular forum I want.

Any one else having this problem? Any ideas?

I should read the previous important posts - I suppose that is why they are posted as stickies. I see I am not Robinson Crusoe with non-connects and active corrective measures are in hand.

Will follow progress as you battle with the forces of evil Geoff - Lucas don't have anything to do with the internet, do they?
