Problem accessing familysearch

[DaveHam9]

Hello,

Is anyone else having problems connecting to familysearch.org ?

I've had no access for three days and I can't find any obvious reason for the problem.

My ISP says the site seems to be down but I said as far as I knew it was not down.

 

[gibbo]

I have had no problems with it so far.

3 days is a while for not been able to access it

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes.

It will be interesting to see if I can find another member here who also uses iinet and they too have problems.

Just tried it Dave, no probs for me either - you haven't had Steve and his duster near your 'puter by any chance :2fun:

 

[DaveHam9]

Not as far as I know. I did go out to the supermarket this morning.

 

[woodlander]

That feather duster of Steve's gets everywhere Dave.
Have you tried accessing the site afresh from a search engine instead of your favourites/bookmarks? No idea why but sometimes that's worked for me with similar problems.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes Woody, and even tried 204.9.224.10

 

[woodlander]

Try this link - fingers crossed

Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.

I've reset the modem and tried with the firewall off and still no go.

 

[woodlander]

So what you having for brekky Woody? Toast and vegemite? :2fun::2fun::2fun:

 

[gibbo]

Im not real good with computers so this might sound silly but what if i emailed you the link Dont suppose that would make any difference would it

 

[DaveHam9]

No, I'd rather you emailed Tim Tams. :2fun:

I only buy them when they are on special and they were today.

I have many years computer experience but this problem stumps me.

I've done all the usual very technical things like reset the router and try different DNS server settings, check MTU, ping the site, try with firewall off, try 3 diff browsers...

Dave when its food getting sent by email its called EMEAL There i just taught you something about computers :2fun::2fun: I've known about EMEALS for ages :2fun::2fun:
So what other yummy food you buy?

Check MTU and ping the site?

 

[DaveHam9]

EMEALS - that sounds live a virtual meal to me.

I did say 'very technical' stuff. :2fun:

 

[woodlander]

Gibbo - are you sleepy ??? Is it bedtime over there?
I posted the link for Dave before my weetabix and toast - it didn't work

Hope that's not a wally corner mix up, we want Steve cleaning up there :biggrin:

Chores and boring shopping to come so catch you later - hope the site's accessible soon Dave, it's a mystery

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok, Woody.

It's a mystery to me.

I've checked the site is not on the blocked list.

I've checked that I'm accepting cookies. :2fun:
