My internet is down since yesterday.
« 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

It's a conspiracy I tell ya! I blame Microsoft and Google and... but you don't need anything else besides AH!  :t

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

Have you tried using a different DNS server in case the one your ISP uses is hosed?

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

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

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.  ;)
