Techspot extremely slow connection. Server-problem?
Lately my connection to Techspot is extremely slow.
A server with IP 70.85.4.244 belonging to ThePlanet keeps mixing with 12.96.164.87 (Techspot itself) and the ever-present Spinbox.versiontracker. Together they manage to grind my connection to a halt!  Is there a server-problem? I used to fly through Techspot, now it takes nearly a minute to go to the next screen. I have no viruses/virii, trojans or other evil-doers on my PC and have a 512Kb broadband connection. Any other website works great. Solutions or help anyone? |

70.85.4.244 = new server
12.96.164.87 = old server Old server is currently redirecting to New server. New server is the only delivering files right now. I'd suggest two things: 1) In the command prompt type: ipconfig /flushdns 2) Temporarily add to your hosts file (/windows/system32/drivers/etc/) a line: 70.85.4.244 www.techspot.com Let me know how that goes. |

About an hour after I sent an email to Julio, it was working OK again. I posted a few threads on TS, but these either never got accepted, or they were deleted, how? I don't know. I edited my above post, and it went through, but shortly afterwards, the change was "undone". Again, don't know how or why.
To be sure, I also changed my TS-password, in case some unmentionable "hacked" any of my posts. Whatever, it is all working fine again. |

realblackstuff; most probably your posts got posted on the old server, and now you are accessing the new server...

That may be so, but today 8 December 2004, I answered a couple of posts, started 2 new threads , and none of it is there! I even sent three private messages to Julio, LNCPapa and Didou, and none of these show up. Does someone have it in for me?

Strange stuff... I haven't got anything from you. Have you tried already with "ipconfig /flushdns" in the command prompt?

Did you push the "refresh" button in the browser too?

Julio, I have indeed.
Nodsu, that was the first thing I did. I think Per Hanson may be on the right track. I also had my Internet connection upgraded today from 512Kb to 1Mb, with completely new hardware from my ISP (I have encrypted wireless internet, with an antenna on the roof, line-of-sight to the ISP's transmitter about 4KM away). But I don't think that my getting a new, different fixed IP has anything to do with this more than strange behaviour. Were there a number of server-refreshes today, perhaps some rollbacks? |

Per, even though you are a guy, you are a darling for finding my "missing" posts.
