Title: My internet is down since yesterday.
Post by: Lusche on May 27, 2017, 12:17:10 PM: Well almost. There are two sites I can still reach: Reddit and the AH BBS.
And there's only one of my games I could still play online: Aces High.

Is that part of HTC's new marketing scheme "If there's only us, they just HAVE to sign up!"? :noid

Anyway, Good luck Lusche, I hope it is repaired soon.

:cheers:

You're either with us, or against us.

Yes, I did, but that's not it.
Actually I can reach all websites, just the response is only partially or extremely slow (and timing out). I know I'm not the only customer with that problem in my area, so I guess it's something bigger.
Will call them tomorrow
("which lights are on? .... have you tried power cycling your router? ...did you install anything on your computer?... by the way, we have an offer for a great upgrade for you" *yawn*)

Post by: Bizman on May 29, 2017, 01:32:34 AM: If it's still not working properly, some Command Line spells might help:

ipconfig /flushdns (optionally followed by ipconfig /registerdns)
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot

"They"? You must be referring to "them" you were going to call?

Glad you got it fixed :aok

Post by: icepac on May 29, 2017, 02:11:22 PM: I had a similar instance where I could not reach any site with "F1" in it.

A few calls to tech support of my provider requesting they edit my "network policy" back to default fixed it.

Yes, my ISP.

Fortunately, they fixed it before I made the call. Thought I would give them a business hour, by 08:15 all was up & running again. Probably just needed a flip of a switch or so. ;)
