Can't log on, or even access RWI **HELP PLEASE**

[4square]

Ok guys I've got a really strange situation here, last Sunday I tried to login here and the page wouldn't even load. For a few days I thought maybe the site was completely down. Then I received some email notifications from RWI so at that point I started thinking that there must be something wrong with my equiptment. I normally use an APPLE so I grabbed my trusty Windows Vista laptop and tried to login with it. .I got the same error message, basically saying that the server @ Replica-watch.info was not responding. :roll:

So today I'm at my friends house and I thought... let me just see if I can see RWI. Well here I am. Can anyone shed any light on what might be happening?

Any change in your IP? Like going from cable to DSI?

Your outlet may not have enough energy to push the connection. Try plugging into another outlet in the house.

I guess everyone forgot about the forum crash.

Thanks for the input, I tried to login again last night at home but no luck again. I checked the power.. everything is running on a UPS, and IP has not changed either. (my friend has the same IP and using a APPLE as well). It seems that any site I want to go to like .com .net .gov works fine. I guess I'll have to call my IP today and see if they have any solution, at least now I know RWI is still alive and well.

try clearing up your cache on your browser. Clear history + other files. Sometimes swapping to other browser will help to. Try Opera or Mozilla.

Could be a couple issues,
1. your cable/dsl provider considers replica watch talk a security threat and blocks the content. (probably unlikely, but possible)
2. your router has content filtering and a recent automatic update may consider RWI a violation of your content blocker.
3. same as #2 but related to blocking on your computer,, like a nanny filter that filters kid content.
4. DNS not resolving the IP address correctly to our name. DNS prorogation is an issue that pops up from time to time but usually rectifies itself within 48 hours.

My guess is if you change your DNS settings on your computer to use something like OpenDNS nameservers you'll be fine.
Their nameservers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

If nothing else works, you could try a system restore to go back to a time when things worked.

You mean, like the 1990s when we didn't have systemic problems like this may be?

I miss MSDOS :wink:
