Neowin is borked


Recommended Posts

Each time I try to post a reply to anything, this happens:

It's ****ing frustrating making a lengthy reply, only to have it lost once I hit the reply button.

I haven't had an issue. Try the following in the order listed

Power cycle your modem and router.

If you have a second machine on the network see if that other machine is having the same issue

Temporary Disable any AV on your system.

Flush your DNScache

OpenDNS. ( 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220 )

Open a command prompt and type ping www.neowin.net -t and let it run for 5 mins. See if you get any timeouts.

If you determine it's limited to just 1 machine you might try opening an elevated command prompt and typing netsh winsock reset , then restart your computer.

Yep, pretty sure it's a problem on your end, not on Neowin's. I've just commented on a report and now I'm posting this reply without any issue.

I'll ping it a bit and see what happens. Please don't block my IP. :laugh:

The thing is though, I don't have timeout issues on anything else, just Neowin.

Aren't the forums on a different IP than the front page ?

Might be a different site I'm remembering....

Closing out and re-opening the page temporarily fixes the issue, but then it starts all over again minutes later.

Maybe try Firefox or Windows 7. :D

Maybe Microsoft is just blocking Neowin at his workstation. Maybe he should contact the Microsoft IT department :D

Can anyone confirm if IRC is down also, can't seem to be able to connect. Recieving;

18:05 -!- ERROR Closing link (seanferguso@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) [Authentication failed.]

checked my password numerous times and details are correct.
