Title: Connection
Post by Charlie on Dec 5^th, 2007, 12:31am

Not that most of you goofs will notice, but it's taking me 4 or 5 minutes to connect anywhere on line. So until I get this fixed, you'll all have a respite from my nonsense.

Rats.

Blame the Iranians. It's the fashionable thing to do. ;;D

I feel for you, Charlie. These days my computer always insists that it doesn't have internet connection, although I know very well that it does and once I do the connection test, it turns out to be fine. Still, that is a daily ritual... Meanwhile Timo sits right next to me and his puter has absolutely no probs with it whatsoever! ::)

I have been having quite a few problems with loading pages too. I'll try and load a thread and the page will partially load and then hang.

I blame Helen for hogging bandwith with her prolific posts ;;D

Upping your bandwith is the EASY bit!!! :P

Your IQ would take ALOT longer and basically - it could only be done if we could find a female brain to transplant into you!

Geeze....She never lets up, does she? What is it over there? :D

Anyway, my idiot server.....if you can call it that.... although I've been "served" many times of late. Has some kind of "accelerator" thing installed that does in fact, speed up things a bit with dialup but I have to hit "original image" to get a decent picture or to get the whole effect such as animation. I'm used to it. I get "local area connection cable unplugged" almost all the time. That doesn't affect the speed so far as I can tell. I can't seem to get a satisfactory explanation nor can I get one for "access deined" or to the effect that I'm not allowed to even see a few places...this has nothing to do with passwords.

The latter is rare enough though. It's no doubt George Bush & Co. spying on my clicks. Lotsa luck. Hope they enjoy my hits on "Crotchless Bikini Clad Button Hole Drillers Of Hobart, Tasmania."

Anyway, here I is looking for trouble. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/binochs.gif

Charlie,

Those are all classic symptoms of a caching server that doesn't know when to get fresh content. Here is a trick you can use...

When you get a page that isn't loading correctly or rendering correctly, hit ctrl-F5 (the control key + the function key F5 together). This forces a complete refresh of the page and should force the proxy server between you and your content to re-fetch the content for you.

Have a happy happy day my friend.

-Fu

Post by Charlie on Dec 5^th, 2007, 12:31pm

Thanks but as I look at my post, it's more than that sometimes. I get "Not Permitted" as often as denied.

I'll try the other though.

Thanks Fu.

Charlie

Title: Re: Connection
Post by fubar on Dec 5^th, 2007, 1:12pm

Yeah, so the ctrl-F5 thing *should* resubmit the request to the proxy in a way that tells the proxy (that web accelerator thingy) to get out of the way. It is just one thing to try. Good luck.

Title: Re: Connection
Post by fubar on Dec 5^th, 2007, 1:15pm

The other option is to turn off that acceleration... usually it's a small application that you can uninstall or shut down. The speed boost is not usually worth it if you are using dial-up. Even with dial-up, I turn it off because of the authentication problems.

Title: Re: Connection
Post by Charlie on Dec 5^th, 2007, 9:10pm

Thanks but I tried turning off the acceleration thing and they won't allow it. I don't mind that actually. It does speed things up and has been there for a couple of years.

I suspect I have firewall or other stuff in play with the other.

Things are back to normal for now.

Charlie
