Connection problems

rock_jock · February 20, 2001, 06:39 PM

Over the last several months, I have been getting a message from my browser (Internet Explorer) almost every time I try to open TFL that says "This page cannot be displayed". I don't get the message from any other webpages, and I often get it whether I am connecting from work or home (different ISPs and connection speeds). After repeated attempts to connect, I am sometimes successful, and sometimes not. Also, after finally getting on, I will often receive this message again when I post a reply/question.

Is this a problem others are having also? Is the server continually being serviced?

Last several months?
Can't answer that.
We have sporadic problems, like anyone else running an active message board. Most recent began about 4 days ago and is hopefully ended now. Last time was in November. What URL do you use as a front door to TFL?

Yeah, I thought it was unusual. It happens constantly though, and not with other sites.

I get that occasionally, and virtually every time it happens I connect no problem when I try again.

It's almost always from home, though, where I'm running cable access, and virtually never at work, where I'm on T1/T3 lines.
