SERVER problems
 

I am not sure if it's the right place to post this but I am wondering if you can give me some advice .. I can't access to dry county at all with my own computer (I am using cable modem noos ) everything works fine and fast 4mega but Dry county is not accessible at all ... if i want to read or post ..I need to use hubby's computer or my daughters computers they both have a different server
do you know what i should do ? just wait or do something and what ? it sucks to use another computer just to visit here .... I want to use my puter !!!

Unfortunately, I know that others have had the same problem. Nige couldn't post here for the longest time but I know that he can now cause I've seen his name. Also Jenn can't access the site at all either - Becky is posting stuff for her in the PIF forum.
I think it would be a setting issue but I know that Peter worked with Nige and they couldn't figure it out.
I know this doesn't help - except maybe to know that you are not alone :(

Thank you Kathleen it is helping mea lot to know I am not alone I will contact my internet provider and ask them why all of sudden the site is not available for me anymore ... :(

Jen on Verizon and can't access it at all. She's tried friends computers that have Verison and can't get here on any of them.

I have verizon DSL. I actually have 2 different verizon DSL connections, a work connection and a home connection and I can access the site from either one. I recently changed to verizon from eartlink and had no problem from there either. The service shouldn't matter, they don't block internet sites. They are selective about the newsgroups they carry but they don't block specific websites. Your settings might block access though.

I didn't changed my settings .. yesterday i was able to get online on here and everywhere else then i had some connections problem (my inteenet was off for 1 hour) .. then the connection problems were fixed and this morning i couldn't accessto this site but NO PROBLEM for any other site ..and I feel like it won't be fixed ... just like my IP can't get to the site I know it's impossible but that does sound like that .. my daughter had a problem with one of her favorite site a while ago .. she couldn't get in but me from my computer could.. after 3 weeks her access to the site was possible again ....

it's very frustrating :(

I am having the same problem with BT Broadband . its so annouying. with aol no problem. its just so strange .wish i could find a way round it :cry:

The ISP that serves DryCounty is probably blacklisted on some ISPs for sending spam or something. If that's the case, there's no way around it other than Peter switching servers.

I think its wrong that a server has the right to choose which site you can and cannot see. AOL have jsut introduced Spyzapper which will block certain sites, but at least they have told us this and also give us simple explanation of how to turn the zapper off to veiw sites.

Depends. It's good that some ISPs block spammers and virus-servers.
