Connection problems

[DanB]

Strange.
Was there anything else in that file?
Edit: ok, ignore that bit.

Mind you, this reminds me of a problem I was having a few weeks ago, I couldn't get through to a couple of random US sites, but no-one else seemed to have any problems. Like you, I could get through via a proxy.

Just blame the CIA, FBI, RIAA, or anyone else you care to think of.

It just had some waffle about how to lay it out and it also had the 127.0.0.1 local host thing in it

@ Rossco, its both pc's

Then the hosts file probably won't help.

That's okay, there are others where I don't have this problem

It would have helped if there was a DNS problem.

However, I'm also having problems connecting to various US based sites (such as torrentbits tracker and Stanford folding servers), but no probs with this site.

Sounds like a router in the US may be down/faulty.

Did you have the problem a little while ago too Lynx? Like 10 days ago possibly

[tesco]

Maybe you two have the same ISP?

Lynx are you with Pipex?

[lynx]

I think my problems were about 3 weeks ago.

And no, I'm not with Pipex, I use Prodigynet.

I've been getting timeouts on the board as well Dan. I just put in down as the general crapness of this board and the "admin".

Rest assured, give it a few months, and we won't have any probelms. No board = no problems.
