Connection Problem
Okay, I have an issue. Every time I get on this website, I get about 2-3 minutes, then I lose my entire internet connection. I have to shut down internet explorer and reset my DSL modem to get reconnected. Sometimes, I have to reboot the whole PC just to get back online. WTF?! Anyone else have problems like this with this site? Any suggestions?

That my friend is most definetly not this site. That is called losing you DNS and has mmore to do with your modem and computer. Totally outside of this site.

Funny thing, I clicked on this thread and the first thing that happened:
Firefox lost the connection. Irony? Perhaps.
Lost

Sometimes I can't get to the site, but it never causes me to lose my connection. It just comes up with "This page cannot be displayed." Weird.

A website cannot casuse your modem to lose connection to the internet. It may not be able to find the page. It may freeze up your browser. It WILL not and CANNOT cause your modem to lose connection. ESPECIALLY with a DSL 'always on" connection. Come on people this is first year stuff.

Then why does it only happen to me on this site? And every time I spend more than a few minutes on it?

Sean likes to tell people what their problems arent when he should just mind his own business. For some baffling reason the moderators let him bother people who are having troubles with this site. He did the exact same thing with me, and he was certainly wrong then.

You are not losing an internet connection because of this site. The homepage on this site simply "cannot be displayed." There could be lots of reasons for this, but you are not losing internet. I too have encountered this problem, it may have something to do with the sites nameservers.
EDIT:
Try putting an extension on the end of the address: /index.php

Your problem was ridiculous and you wouldn't listen to anyone and ending with you 'leaving'. So why are you here again and why do you think anyone cares what you have to say?
Please go jump in front of train. Society needs to weed out the unintelligent morons like yourself. Really you are just a burden. |
