you might have what is called static DHCP. in this case you will always get the same IP, no matter how long you wait or how many times you reboot. typical lease times are one week. there is a half life where your IP will be verified mid way through your lease. |

I assume it's all working now? I hope it all worked out. I was getting worried there. On a similar note. As I read back through this thread I start to imagine what it is like for companies like Novani, who have routers on the net to direct traffic. They must get flooded with calls from yahoos like us demanding they fix problems they may have nothing to do with. I work for a university system and I get my share of calls from people who can't get to my services and they always think its my fault, when 99 times out of 100 it's on their end caused by firewalls, malware, and messed up modems/computer configs. Not to mention messed up ... Well you get the point (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Oh well, it's all good! |

I read this thread with interest tonight after trying to access renegadehybrids site and the page would only show it loading and sit there.
I checked the tools/ internet options/ security and nothing there was wrong/blocked. I did a tracert to www.renegadehybrids.com and got a timed out responce. I tyed to manualy enter their IP 64.250.230.18 and got the black screen of death. I checked with someone else to see if their site worked (it does) anyone? suggestions? |

Still no access.....in IE it shows the bars across the bottom as loading (get's to 1/2 way and stops)
I've checked with several others and they can open it np. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) |

Unplug your modem overnight... right Chris? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Seriously, you can try to get people to figure out the IP issue from the other end (which, as you can see, is impossible) or you can go the route I went and simply get a new IP address. I wasn't static so all I had to do was what Chris recommended, unplug it (for more than two hours) and then plug it back in (power cord). |

I came across this today, which may or may not be relavant to the problem that spawned this thread.
Quote: from langalist [listreply_std@langa.com] 2005-02-28 I recently tried to load the web page of my local computer parts supplier, Rapidpcs.com, using IE6. I got the page not found error message. I rang the shop and confirmed the page was up and running. I tried using Firefox and got the same result, i.e. this page contains no date (this is the same as Page Not Found in IE6) I tried dozens of other sites from my favourites and they all loaded. I rang the BT help desk. 30 minutes later they said they couldn't help. They put me onto a supervisor. He couldn't solve the problem. They then booked a call back from a specialist team member. After more than 40 minutes, he couldn't solve it. Not being a "techie" I can't remember much of what they tried, but I do remember them telling me to open the "hosts" file and to do a ping test. That confirmed my computer was communicating with the site, but for some reason the page would not load in IE6 or Firefox. In the end they said that there was obviously something wrong with my set up and I should re-install Windows. I did so, and sure enough, I was able to access that particular web page [for a while. But then later] the same mysterious error has somehow got back into my system! I am aware that you can stop a particular programme from accessing the internet, i.e. telling your firewall etc. but the BT (British Telecom) helpdesk agreed with me that they don't know of any software or setting that can prevent access to one, or now two and possibly more, web sites. Do you have any idea what is going on? Kind regards, Geoff After several rounds of email, it became clear that Geoff had two problems. One was a utility he was using: "Peer Guardian." Like so many hyper-aggressive security tools, this one ended up blocking access to valid sites, too. When he removed that utility, the problem mostly--- but not entirely--- went away. The remaining part of his problem had nothing to do with Geoff at all: Most sites are set up to work with or without the "www" in the URL. For example, http://langa.com and http://www.langa.com get you to the same place. So, Geoff (not unreasonably) assumed that rapidpcs.com and www.rapidpcs.com were the same. But they're not. http://rapidpcs.com/ doesn't work, but http://www.rapidpcs.com/ is perfectly fine. This can happen when, by design, accident or other reason, a web host or registrar sets things up so that you *must* use the "www" in the URL. Yes, it's a little silly, but a surprising number of sites are set up just that way. So; If you have trouble connecting to a site that you think *should* be working, be sure to try both the long and the short form of the URL. If one doesn't work, the other just might. If neither way works, and you're sure the site is there, and that you have the URL correct, then it may be something on your own PC that's blocking you. Unquote |

With mine, I called my IP and they did a trace from their end and found that no one using their system could access the renegade site. The problem was further up the pipeline.
