Problem with connecting, still...

I've had more than one ( 10-15! ) problem when trying to connect to TRF, today.

My diagnostics refers to checking TRF's firewall settings.

It states that mine are set-up to accept TRF.

Also, I cleaned my registries, temp. files and etc., on my computer.

I don't think that its me that's slow. (5.7 out of 6 index rating)




Oh, the pain!

Gotta have my TRF!

(Just thought I'd throw out a heads-up.)

I love you, man.

You are correct, the problem is not you. Many members, including me, are still having connectivity issues from time to time. Please be patient - the administrators are aware of the problem and are working on its resolution.

In a lighter vein, think of it as a forced "mini cold turkey". It may actually get you outside in the sunshine, or at least up and away from the computer for a little while!

Nice rig, Lockie! I'm running 7 on this ancient laptop, and it's insane- XP never ran this well.

OK I deserve that one. However you weren't up all night with two Dobermans barking at a whole crew of bikers having a party down the road!

I\'m having problems too - I\'m currently accessing the site via a proxy server. Having heard on watchuseek what\'s been happening, is it possible that my IP address was one of the ones blocked? If so, how can it be resolved?

Every time I click to rolexforums.com I download a tiny file. That is all. I got here today by going to ctunnel.com and proxying in.

Something is not right.

Connection issues -- more than one week

Team,

I'm unable to connect using a regular way (I'm using a proxy at this moment).

It seems that the forum firewall is rejecting any connection from Brazil.

Please, help.

Thanks in advance.

No lucky from 200.171.89.6 and also from 189.100.37.8.

Other members, from other IP addresses located here, experience the same results (no connection).

Thanks.
