Mine too dromano

 

when i first signed on this morning, i got the little message saying 'try ipconfig /flushdns'. it didnt tell me what to do with it, so i typed it into 'run' which said it couldnt find it. i tried to 'get into' MG from a variety of places, but no go. i eventually emailed tim. (sorry tim). when i tried again an hour later....lo, here we are. i was definately feeling 'cut off' for a while there. the message needs to be changed to a) something that makes sense to us tech challenged, or b) 'hold your horses...all will be well.' much aloha

 

The strange thing is that in Opera anyway once you type in your user name and password it remembers it for this link, but when you come back it requests it again....................Strange Velllllly Strange

 

Same thing in IE7 every time i open the browser i have to sign in again.
Never had to do that before.
Also ipconfig /flushdns did not help

 

It tells you what to do....

 

I've done all that, still can't reply through my email, getting here via my bookmarks

 

OH, OK, Thanks

 

half the time i log in, i get here and the other half of the time i get the ipconfig message. i got an email from jim saying:-

" Try this - click START - The Accessories then Command prompt

type this

ipconfig /flushdns

hit enter

That should do it. "

when i tried, i got this..

 

1) Click Start
2) Click RUN
3) Type services.msc in the text box
4) Click OK or hit Enter
5) Scroll down to DNS Client and double click it
6) Select General tab and select Startup type: Automatic
7) Click Apply
8) Finally at Service Status Click Start (if it is stopped)

Restart and try the command Jim sent you again.

I would also Clear your Cookies and Temp Internet files, as Halo suggested earlier.

In trying to respond to to thread through e-mail i am now getting :

The webpage cannot be found
HTTP 404
Most likely causes:
There might be a typing error in the address.
If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

I deleted cookies, Dumped cache and dns/flush

 

thanks halo. i will run ccleaner and clean up first then, which should clear whatever.. yes? and then if it keeps happening do the command prompt with the magic space. good morning and aloha

 

well i ran through the cleaning programmes, did spybot and spyblaster just coz, and seems to be fine this time.

ps: i may have mentioned this but.....i dont LIKE the 'dark side'. lol. i dont want to 'fiddle' with the inner reaches of my puters soul, with its scary little curser and its curt little messages. shiver..... i try to be a good slave... i try to keep it happy...

 

Now would that be a MS "XP Window" "Vista Window" or just one of those darn fancy Linux "Window's" Halo

 

Mine is working now, can get in through my email, Cool, Thanks!

 

Still hopeful. Despite dns flush and running CCleaner to empty temporary internet files, I can't get in through e-mails. Also, the problem BCGray mentioned with opera, that the pages don't remember my name and password happens sporadically. Also, I couldn't get to Runkey and Shownew today.

Is this going to go away by itself, or do I have to do something do something?
further flushing?
