Maybe it's just me(ok,and Dee)but this board has been giving me fits getting on.'No route to host'?www.racing-forums.com has no known ds-something?This place was just not reachable for me until about five minutes ago....then it was superfast for a second.....Fury?This sounds right up your alley.
 
Weird....one second it's incredibly fast...the next it's like molasses in Siberia!!Took me forever to pull up this reply box......
 
Also interesting---and baffling to me--my isp(compuserve) browser will not even pull the site up today.However my IE browser is working, if a little strangely.Why is that,I wonder?Usually compuserve works well.
 
Seriously,I always tend to blame something on my end first.Now I am pretty sure it isn't my computer illiteracy at fault. :(
 
I have DSL and it is either split-second or like you said 97, slow as molasses in Siberia!

I haven't had any problems logging on, but the speed of the board is on both ends of the spectrum. :wacko:
 
I have had problem too. just what 97 said, plus I posted an error message I have been getting in the feed back forum.
 
You mean everyone had problems. I thought it was just my computer.

Same problem for me on AOL

Or if I do get into the site, I have trouble opening some topics. It just sits there and hangs.

I'm on dial-up and not dsl.
 
I'm on AOL Broadband and it has been excruciatingly slow until a few minutes ago. Now it is just fine. :unsure:
 
It has certainly gotten better! I think it has gotten back to normal, at least for now. :wacko:
 
We're not sure what happened yet. It's most likely that the network the server is on had a denial of service attack, because I was checking the server load as often as I could and it was always normal. I will let you know as soon as I find out something.
 
It was caused from a bad line from one of the upstream providers our network uses (read: one of the internet backbones that sends data to site visitors) which was having severe packet loss (data sent never got to its destination).
