Big Wheel Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 In our apartment the 'Net has been weird today. Everything works with the wireless router and whatnot, but...Organissimo is one of the ONLY sites that I can access. Everything else times out without loading--Google, Yahoo, Amazon, and so on. Does anyone have any idea what's going on, or is having similar problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandra Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hmmm.. interesting. I could not access the internet for a better part of couple of hours from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. And then I could get to Google but not anywhere else. And then after 10 minutes everything cleared up. I thought the problem was with my wireless router and went on a major diagnostic exercise. But in the end I don't think I changed or did anything major.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any idea what's going on, or is having similar problems? Organissimo seems to work under every circumstance. I remember last week I couldn't get into any sites. Organissimo was the only one that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I just had the exact same problem. The O-board was fine but everything else I tried 'could not be displayed'. I did a repair to my internet connection and then everything seemed to work OK. But then it happened a second time. Creepy. Now that I'm hooked on 24 I'm sure that some big catastrophic event is just about to happen which is interfering with my internet access (and thankfully some rogue anti-terrorist agent will save the day in the nick of time...) Can you tell that I'm a third of the way through season three while simultaneously watching season four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Kat Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Either Organissimo's just really GOOD, or effects all the other sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Same here, although I did have to run a "restore" to fix a problem with my email program. Heck, I'll trade Yahoo for Organissimo anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I'm having the same problem... IE is not working, but I'm able to get here with Mozilla Firefox. I'm actually running a virus scan right now, because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chandra Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I just called Comcast, my cable internet service provider, and they confirmed they have a nationwide service outage/interruption and they are working on fixing it. My service is very intermittent now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfricaBrass Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 so I restarted the system.... Ah yes - the Windows equivalent of Duck Tape. I remember when I payed 3 grand for my Mac back in '97..... I thought Apple's use of duck tape was much more creative than the PC's, and it hurt a lot more. At least I don't feel like Ned Beatty in the movie Deliverance when I restart my PC. I used to work on Macs all the time and I had plenty of instances when they locked up also...

AfricaBrass Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 What's this 'duck tape' you all speak of; are you all quackers? Okay... duct tape. Since I'm a Marx Bros. fan, duck tape works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
