Is the Arcade Broke or is it my Computer?

[Fish-Bait]

I've been haveing problems with my connection since Yesterday here at work. Lot's of sites are acting weird and not loading up.

I get an error message when I try to play a game in the arcade. Is anyone else having this problem?

This thing has been acting up on certain sites...I don't know what it is. Weather . com wouldn't even load right yesterday. I'm wondering if it's not my provider..

that's what I'm thinking. It is breaking all of the links. The ones at the bottom of the arcade page work, but all the ones up top don't. That's what it's doing on the other sites like Fox and weather. com and cnn. com...hell just about all of em...looks like I need to do a scan or something.

plug and unplug...and re plug.

[Scarlett O'hara]

It's probably because you have so many points in Diamond Mine.................just cancel those out and see if it helps..............:)

[TheCapitalist]

A bigger hammer...

Pour some Makers Mark on it...

Don't be giving him any secrets to making his computer any faster that you don't share with ALL of us, fotno! He can't be supercharged on Diamond Mines!

I can't believe you are saying that OPT your score is unhumanly how are you that good? and look at your squeeball score jeez.

[optimistik1]

well....I like it!

and I'm not inhuman...*pot calling kettle black looking at your avatar there Pook*
that Skeeball is some fun stuff...you got to get your rhythm going...and luck up by getting blue and red balls! But I think 3KP is too be commended for giving us such great games to play! I NEVER play my "other" games anymore, because I have competition on here! and I think that's what makes it fun!

[pooker]

yeah I get a kick when he adds new games because I am hoping I am gonna get one I am good at then either you or ted comes in here with these crazy skills. Jeez I played that diamond mind and cant even get half of your score.

It's not just my machine here. It's about 6 of them out of 17. Our system got hit by lightning and I think it messed up one of our routers or something. It's flakey to say the least. The adds on here just have red x's now and text when I look at them on my machine, but when I go to the office next to mine everything is fine. Go down the hall a bit and they are just like mine so we have some sort of I.P. thing going on on certain sites. Strange, but we have a tech on the way to check it out.

I had trouble last night on Diamond Mine. Of course, my computer was downloading Windows updates at the same time, so maybe that was the problem.

[Fish-Bait]

We just got off the phone with our system installer and he said that he's received over two dozen calls this morning with the same problem from other businesses. he says that the only thing he can think of is that it's weather related.

Now we have a call in to our ISP. I'll update shortly. I've never seen this happen like this and the installer said the same thing. This was a first for him. I guess with all of the rain the internet is wet.

or someone brought their pet to work????

[Fish-Bait]

our system is pinging the wrong DNS. It was set up wrong from the start. That's been like 2 years ago. The tech said a number of things could have made this happen today.

We just dossed out the IP config command thing

cmd(enter) ip config)..........when the ip addy's came up they were Sprint Servers......wth?

The same set up folks are local which explains why other folks in our area have had the same problem.

[Fish-Bait]

Well it's fixed now!!!!!!! and everyone is back to normal here!!
