FF 4 sits spinning "connecting to www.MacTech.com" for several minutes at a time. Also, some ads are overlapping the forum text areas. It's not consistent from one minute to the next though.


Edited by MacBozo (04/04/11 07:34 PM)
Edit Reason: Changed waiting to connecting

This is likely a problem on the Internet between your machine and the www.mactech.com server.

I'm thinking there is a DNS outage either locally or regionally. I'm also having loading issues with forecast.weather.gov. All other sites are OK, though.

Day 2 here. I've tried several DNS servers to no avail. Both these forums and the main www.mactech.com sites are the only sites that are having problems loading for me. Safari is behaving the same.



Firefox is giving me a list longer than my arm.

I remember the not-so-olden days when the reply would be..

Ahhh..I see your problem. You're on a MAC.

LOL

Speed seems fine here from home.

MacBozo,

I believe that this case is isolated to your setup. Does anyone else see the same thing? Need some more data points to know, but I'm thinking there's something specific on your computer (the pings aren't great, but aren't horrible).

Thanks!

Neil
