Jema can't post, anyone else?

[Chelle]

Jema's having a problem posting that seems to be ISP related because it's not just on Ninja's, and it's happening on more than one of his machines. When he tries to post it doesn't seem to load the submit page and ends up in a " Page cannot be displayed" error.

Just trying to narrow down the cause, has anyone else had this problem before?

I had this once before, but that was when the DNS moved, and I'd left the old IP in my Hosts file.

[jema]

this is across a number of machines though

[Meadmaker]

Are they all part of the same network? If so, the host machine may have the problem, and that would affect all of them.

Just a thought.

Well..it seems to be fixed now jema? You've posted....at least...i think you did :)

I did have some issues with the NM page about 2 hours ago...the front page loaded without any hot topic content and the forum front page loaded as a REALLY big page, with nothing at the start and a few miles down the forum list.

A few miles to the right was my avatar...

Jema

Can elfy post at all ?

if i remember correctly you can post from within callisto have you tried with/without callisto?

Long shot you could try downloading a free isp trial - aol or something and seeing if that helps :confused:

you have a lot of posts here so something is getting through - very strange :dunno:

[speculative]

Yes, posts are showing up - are these updates from a machine that can post while others can't then? Hope you get it sorted soon. :)

[jema]

so any theorys anyone? the machine i'm posting this on is w2k, the failing machines are XP and w98 they are all on the same net and were working....

[jema]

xp

[jema]

then xp failed

[jema]

w2k

[jema]

w2k seems always to work?

[jema]

xp just said it posted but did not appear

[jema]

xp1

[jema]

xp2

[jema]

xp3

[jema]

and then xp failed and still could not post MJ

[jema]

but w2k is 100%?

[jema]

...xp

[jema]

xp3...

[jema]

xp4

[jema]

still 100% on w2k?

[jema]

xp still failing this posted from w2k

[jema]

[dodgygeeeza]

try clearing the DNS cache..
To clear it type the following in a command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns


;)

[^7_of_9]

IT wouldn't be DNS as he can get here in the first place.

[Bozo]

Put win2k on all the pc's :nod:

:D


can your xp Pc's post at MJ ? if not sounds like there may be some setting somewhere you are missing. If win2k posts 100% everywhere it cant be the isp and probably not your pc's (no 2 pc's are EVER configured the same) My guess is something to do with the install.

(where the xp PC's machines able to post previously ? have you applied any patches or updates? )

[Meadmaker]

Win2k rules! :D


Seriously, I have yet to meet someone who hasn't had problems with XP somewhere. I can only assume that (yet again) Microsoft has released an operating system that is so full of bugs, it'll take about 10 service packs to sort it out.

Win2000 is now very stable, but it's 3 years old. Win98 is also pretty good, but it's 5 years old. Win XP is very new, and therefore still buggy as H*ll.

I wonder what W2005 is going to be like? :rolleyes:

[jema]

w2k still working?

[jema]

I guess the fact that seti is also not connecting from XP is related? this is of course posted on w2k. Flushing DNS caches comes up with orindal 1001 not found, and is an unliekly answer anyway. I think the anser might lie in the fact that XP seems to have an "internet gateway" all of a sudden, I think this is taking over the internet connection and causing the problem.

[jema]

xp

[jema]

xp1

[jema]

xp2

[jema]

w2k .. damn I thought that was it.

[jema]

xp3

[jema]

xp nutscrape

[jema]

again

[jema]

and again?

[jema]

so it looks like ie at fault?

[jema]

interesting!

[jema]

have never liked nutscrape but, the abilty to post means a lot, thought the quick reply box is badly sized :(

[jema]

so any ideas on IE setting anyone? I have cleared temporaty files and cookies. and reset browser options to default.

[jema]

I bet I have some nasty spyware screwing things, I just cannot figure out why I got it and why 2 PCs would have a problem :( running AdAware did not solve things.

that was one of the first things I did. I am still well confused.

jema

[Meadmaker]

Have you "allowed" ninjamicros in your settings Jema?

I had to do that when I upgraded to IE6.

Tools/Internet Options/privacy/Web sites - edit button.

[jema]

good idea...

but that setting was already there from ages back....

jema

ps) post made fron NutScrape as it failed with ie :rolleyes:

[jema]

this is getting crazy now w2k won't post on MarsJupiter. Nor will Nutscrape.

[jema]

Just tried a third computer and that won;t post on MJ either.

given that nonthing has been changed anywhere, this has to be at the router/isp level...

jema

[Terminator]

I hope your post count is going to be adjusted accordingly :lol:

[jema]

[ie][w2k]
lol

Now nutscrape won't post on NM...

[jema]

[xp][ns]

[jema]

I getting an "empty document" error on ninja a while back with nutscrape. I have a thoery that xp is mucking about with my linksys router.....

[jema]

Using Opera I get a:

"Connection closed by remote server"


error.

It does seem that an alternative proxy server is the answer. I had tried two, but someone found one that does work :)

[BigBen]

Hi,
glad you got it working Jema :) .... One thing I have noticed is that Blueyonder is starting to shut down many of its webcaches and I wonder if NTL are starting to do the same so that they can have more central ones :( :rolleyes: and maybe that it is causing strange probs somehow! :scratch:

ntl are switching the names of their proxy servers, but why this should translating into a posting problem is beyond me :confused: there was abolsutely no sign of a problem with just browsing.
