Access problem from one of my computers...???

JNewell · May 21, 2004, 09:55 AM

Anyone got any ideas why I can't get to TFL since the site went active early this week? I had been able to access TFL previously. Other computers are OK. Any suggestions welcome.

Are you trying to access from work? Perhap the IT guys have implemented site filters.

What is the difference between the computer you are using now and the one you can't access from?

Have you cleared your cookies and your cache?

Ironically, my work computer is the only one I can read TFL from. All the home computers refuse to access the page. It acts like a DNS error.

Maybe I need to manually week out all the old cookies? Any suggestions welcome. I'd rather not read non-work stuff at work...

Cookies won't affect whether you can access the site at all.

Can you access it from home now? I think this might be related to the thread I posted this morning in this forum. It only started affecting me on Friday.

Thanks, I will check tonight and report. My problems began Friday also.

JNewell,

Are you on DSL? If so try unplugging the power to your DSL box for a minute or two, and then plug it back in.

No, cable -- and everything else worked.

BUT, as you can see, I'm back in!
