Here we go again..

Things were going great yesterday when all of a sudden BAM I couldn't log on to the forum again. What is going on? It will work for 2 days & then when I try to log on it says website can't be found.

I'm going to call Verizon & ask them if I'm sharing a IP address.
What is driving me crazy is it only happens to TRF & no other websites.

Are other members experiencing similar problems & what ISP do you have?

Can any IT members offer any soulutions?
Any help would be appreciated..

Yes Peter I always check the remember me box when I log in & have added TRF to my trusted sites on my AV.This is driving me crazy.

I'm logged on to the forum using my laptop in my office using the hospital guest wifi with no problems.

I've been able to login to the forum all day from work. Now lets hope I can get on from home but I doubt it.

Still can't log on from my house. I'll have to call my ISP Verizon to see what's up.

I am having the same problem. At home cannot connect on cell phone, desktop, or 3 different laptops - get "Website Not Available". This started Saturday.

Went to work Monday worked on desktop and cell through wifi. Stopped for dinner on way home could not connect at restaurant. Got home could not connect.

I called AT&T, home provider, Sprint, cell phone provider, and Comcast, restaurant provider - all 3 could connect.

It seems to be a regional problem that no one has an answer to.

There is nothing wrong with our computers or settings. If there was then I would not be able to log on at all. The problem is either with the ISP or the forum. I don't know anything about this technical stuff with computers but if someone on the east coast of the US was banned and somehow we share a server this could be the problem. I will call Verizon & consult with their IT people & see what they say. It just seems weird that I can log on now & then can't log on.

I have spoken with AT&T, my home provider, and Comcast the provider at a restaurant I stop at and both can connect. I don't know where the tech support people are located but they can connect. I'll call and find out their physical location. Seems like a regional issue - possibly.

It seems to be hit & miss lately.. There is definitely something going on. I'm going to log off tonight & see if I can log on in the morning.
