I've had a few since but forget exactly when. I don't know how to do the trace thing. :(

18:23 to unknown.

My isp is Videotron and it's cable. I don't know how to do a traceroute.

You can add me to the list of people having trouble. Every once in a while the forum just locks up and it'll take 15-30 minutes to be accessible again. As Johhny, I learnede to live with it as well, but sometimes it does get on your nerves.

I got booted out twice today while at work. First time was at 3:40pm. Usually when I get booted I get a completely white page, and cannot get back on usually until 10 or 15 minutes, if I try before that, Page Cannot Be Displayed. After about 10 minutes, around 3:50pm, I was able to get back on for about 1 minute before it booted me out again.

My work is on dialup, Verizon. (note though that it does the same thing randomly from time to time at my home as well, Comcast cable).

<span style="color: lightblue">Go to DOS, type:
tracert www.ironworksforum.com

Was down for me at 5.50 pm till now, while it was down I tried pinging the site since I am on dial-up right now and then yahoo.com to compare both one after the other.

4:30 onwards AESST; trace goes to the network server then dies (does this for all sites, even those which are definately up). ISP is Telstra Bigpond Sattelite; tried standard hosts and lmhosts fixes, no luck. Tried on another machine, same connection, still didn't work. Can get everywhere else that I've tried.
