Richard Tracy Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I need the help of some web-computer saavy people... For the past week, I have been experiencing terrible connection problems to only rwg.cc. No matter the browser,.. Netscape,..I.E... or even Mozilla... Every other site I visit is fine... I am on Dsl... When I try to connect, if I see below it reads... {connecting to rwg.cc}... I will never get in.. it will come back giving me the 'timed out' message,.. however if stop the browser and try to reconnect,... I must keep trying until I see the '..{waiting for or transferring }... to know that I will connect. It take me 20 tries at least, then when I do connect,.. once on rwg.. I must do this again with every page that I wish to view....or even to post...or send e-mail... Any ideas ? Is this happening to anyone else ? I cleared my cache,.. to no avial... also changed the theme back to the pre-holiday one.. and still.. soo slow to handle... Help.. Please.. Someone...

I don't know how much help i can be.. i sometimes have the same problem at work... slowness going thru the firewall while the site goes thru a security scan. but at home? have you checked the borwser security settings? btw, i have been meeting to tell you how appricated all the work you're doing really is. I understand your motivation, but I think it is way beyond the call.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your motivation, but I think it is way beyond the call.. I appreciate your input,... and it may prove too much for me... but at this point, I still have hope,.. I just wish more people would see the potential in it, and be patient with the polls.. either that or submit some alternatives.. I was always taught never to complain unless I had a solution.. and I am open to any suggestion.. In no way am I ego tripping or playing this for any benefit but for the board.. Anyway getting back to the issue at hand... curious, do you think that this off shore hosting is giving my security settings more problems ? if so.. why just over the past week ? What settings do you suggest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What settings do you suggest ? over the last 2 weeks, i have had some real problems getting on - same issue as you, it hangs up. Very slow. Only happens every once and a while. It will be fine for a few days then aweful. Hard to say what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken well i've tossed my cookies... seriously yes i have, but i think my issue may be more directly related to a corporate firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What settings do you suggest ? I agree..some of the member comments have been downright 'blunt' to be polite... the only thing I can think of is go to your security settings and set them to the lowest levels... go to tools, internet options.. and trusted sites.. and set that one low. otherwise, i am sorry but i am pretty useless.

retep Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I`ve read that some guy`s had problems when it was the winter theme but as you already tried that.......sorry complete computer noob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 If you have a different computer (your wife's perhaps?) try that. Another thing that happens sometimes, particularly on corporate servers, is that something called the DNS tables get corrupted. These are essentially address books that link an http address to the numerical IP address. To try and fix this, open a command prompt window and type: ipconfig /flushdns click Enter (that is, on the keyboard) Then type: ipconfig /renewdns click Enter again. See if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
