ASF Site Performance

Awww, noice!!

Anyway, next time you get the error message, Google it and take a look at the ehow answer. It will show you how to ping the address to see if it reaching the IP or not.

Could not find this site on a number of occasions earlier this morning. Pinging it showed no problems.

Same issue here with a Telstra NextG Wifi modem I use as a backup to my ADSL connection (Internode). Same laptop, same browser etc. but when switched to NextG I'm unable to connect to ASF. Switch back to Internode ADSL and no problems connecting.

apparently any routing facility within modem can cause firewall challenges, so you can ping the site but not open it.....the modem may need some research

just guessing

ASF is the only site I've had any issues with. If it were a problem with routing or the firewall in the modem I figure I'd have issues with some other sites as well?

a-ha ! i am right.......i am guessing...lulz

mebe depends what's embedded in the site front page.....oh, another guess....2 fer 2

and check your add-ons...
 
Save that it's just being out of range of available wireless,

it sounds like a client-side browser settings issue. What browser is being used, what are the privacy and cookie settings.

Just connected to the Telstra modem and checked in Firefox and in Chromium web browser. Typed ASF into Google and tried pages other than the front page... still no entry.

No add-ons installed in Chromium, I have a fresh version installed just to check issues such as this in case it is a firefox add-on issue.

Are you on a Windows PC Country Lad? I'm checking all this on Xubuntu Linux but I can check on a Windows PC if you happen to be running Linux as well?

I've had the issue for quite a while but never really bothered with it as it's not all that important to me but just wanted to let Joe know that there's someone else other than Country Lad with the same issue.
 
Just tried it on another laptop, Windows 7, Internet Explorer (no-add ons etc.). No entry to ASF. No problems with about a dozen other web pages. It's not a browser/OS issue.

100% or 40% signal strength - makes no difference.

We are covering the same ground as I stated in earlier posts. As I said, happens with all 3 browsers and after I started all over again with cookies. Also as I mentioned in an earlier post that it happens on both laptops that is why I said I suspected the wireless modem.

Cheers

Windows 7 on this laptop, XP on the other one. same problem on both that is why I suspect the Ultimate wireless modem.

Yes, simply a case of if I can't reach this site, nothing lost. Not a major issue.

I spend a lot of time away from home and instead of using a laptop I can now do most of what I need on the iPad.

This is the problem that I run into regularly via two methods when I attempt to login to ASF on 3G at night, it seems to work better early in the morning.
As you may see there is a strong 3G signal, works fine where I have access to wifi though !

Pics below are from Melbourne last Thursday night.

Right ok, the probability favours it being the modem to ASF server link.

Other than this, on the browser settings theme, it wouldn't hurt to make ASF an allowed site in Firefox (Trusted site in IE). In Firefox this is via the Tools>Options>Privacy>Exceptions pathway, see image below.
 
The site is working fine this morning on my NextG connection. I haven't made any changes so it may be an intermittent issue?

Same here, could get in Christmas day when I was going to test another modem but not at all yesterday.

That's for cookies. All cookies for this site have been allowed. My firewall has this site as a trusted site. It looks like it is either the wireless modem or the site hidden from me intermittently or both. I need to try another wireless modem at the same time I can't get in to eliminate my modem or confirm it is the issue.

I couldn't get the site to load for a week, just righted it self this morning for some unknown reason.

Cable went down a week ago and Telstra couldn't organise a service call till tomorrow (a week) in the meantime was told to buy a pre paid wi fi which I did and coudnt connect to ASF at all, all other sites ok but not ASF , get this , even on 3G on the Iphone ....a completely different connection ........so go figure.
 
I was using my netbook not my laptop over Christmas and couldn't get onto ASF at all, but I could get into all my other usual sites. I assumed it was a problem with ASF but I wonder if it's my Telstra pre-paid dongle. I'm back on my normal PC now and no problems there but just tried to logon via my netbook and am still having the same problem with that (I have another internet connection on my main laptop, still via a dongle though).
