I can't log on The High Road

popeye · April 12, 2006, 10:43 AM

I visit a few gun related sites including this one. For about a month now I can't log on to The High Road. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation. I use SBC ADSL and I can't ping the site and tracert just dies after a couple hops. I've checked firewalls, and used several different P.C.s (eliminated the router, I use separate modem ((I'm using DHCP)) and no luck. I've posted over there a long time and never violated policies so I can't see me bring blocked. When I try to connect the connection just times out, I never get to site. I tried SBC help desk but they only went so far and then wanted to charge me. Anybody have a moderators e-mail address from THR?

Moving to Tech Support forum so we don't tie up TFL's General Discussion forum.

"Anybody have a moderators e-mail address from THR?" I do.

Let's see if we can figure it out. At first glance it sure seems like the problem is on your end.

What is your user name on THR? Have you tried logging in from a different computer or site? Have you changed anything in conjunction with the problem? (New ISP, new operating system, new browser, etc.)

Assuming your user name is the same on THR, I just checked your user stats, and you are still registered (not banned

). Your IP address is not blocked or banned.

Can you get to APS(it's on the same server)?

I've been having this problem intermittently since the beginning of March. For me, it is related to my IP. When my IP is 66.x.x.x, I get through. When it is 74.x.x.x, I do not. However, even when my IP is 74.x.x.x, I can connect through one of the anonimizer sites ( http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html ).

When you're on THR, popeye, go to this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=192449

They are discussing the same problem you are having. Tim has posted some good info in that thread also.
