Difficulty connecting to FC

Post by agdickie » Fri Oct 30, 2009 11:41 pm

Anyone else having difficulty getting on FC? Taking multiple attempts at my end to get on the site - keep on getting "Connection Interrupted". The URL decides to change itself, sometimes, on refreshing and i get stuff like ?be9bfb48" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What HTTP error is it giving you? Also, when does it occur? (Any significant thing?).

Connection Interrupted

------------------------------------

The document contains no data.

------------------------------------

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
When if finally gets through it works fine and there's no problem staying on but it takes a lot of refreshes to get on initially. Only happens with this site so I'm assuming my internet isn't to blame?

I had a problem Thursday/Friday logging in using my normal bookmark. Was getting something like 'URL not found'. I left it a while to see if any one asked the question on one of the other forums if FC was down, but nothing appeared. I Googled (other search engines are available :D ) FC and it came up and clicked on the forum and it appeared. Deleted old bookmark and used this one.

Just experienced it again, wouldn't let me on for 10 mins. Checked other websites and they all worked ok. Same message:

We're working on it, there isn't alot we can do directly, seems to be a server problem rather than a forum config problem.

To confirm that though, can someone please check our website http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - when they're experiencing this error, to see if it gives them the error then too.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the reports, we're in contact with the host regarding the issue.

If anyone is reciving these errors and knows how to carry out a traceroute could they do so (on fightercontrol.co.uk) and email it to editor@fightercontrol.co.uk please, it'll help us identify and get the problem fixed.

Cheers,
Mike

Press Windows Key and R together, the Run dialogue will come up.

Type "cmd" (Without quotes) and press enter.

The Command Prompt will open, type "tracert fightercontrol.co.uk" (Again, no quotes)

Give it a while (Usually 10-20 seconds) then copy/print screen it.
