BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat

Subject: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: nutty Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:02 PM I'm putting the thread here rather than HELP because I can no longer access help or loki or dharma or ragtime or even shorty directly. This has been happening all day and the only way I can get into the Forum is via the DT on an old Supersearch thread. Once in everything is as normal ---it's very strange I suspect the problem might be with Netscape but would like some confirmation |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Justa Picker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:07 PM Intermittent. I find the www.mudcat.org (shorty) server to consistently be the slowest, so I generally come in on the ragtime or dharma server. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Gareth Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:07 PM An me - using I E - I solved it by cutting in via Gooogle Gareth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:08 PM All servers are up at the moment, and I have no problem getting into them. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:17 PM I cannot get into any of the servers - by name - have to come in using an IP address. nothing using named servers works for me, including setting of cookies. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Sorcha Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:22 PM I am having the same trouble as Mario. I'm on an IP too. Means none of the searches work for me today. (Except the filter) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Uncookied JenEllen Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:22 PM IP addys here too, and cookies aren't working. ~J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,katlaughing, cookieless Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:25 PM Jon has a lot about it on his Annexe and has included the info in the help. I can access nothing except through the Ip numbers followed by /threads.cfm. Jon said he couldn't either and also cannot reset his cookie, nor can I. Jon thinks it has to do with some DNS's. The numbers are:
www.mudcat.org = 204.108.149.105 I have to follow any of those with the /threads.cfm to get anything. THANKS, JON! kat |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:30 PM Max may have moved the servers to his apartment, and that's what's causing the problems. I dunno - I'm still not having any problems. I DO notice that a bunch of people seem to have had their cookies snatched. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Tinker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:38 PM I can get in from MSN but AOl can't find a thing and it's all on the same computer. From AOL I tried ragtime, loki and mudcat all no response. MSn just loaded up. Go figure. Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:38 PM Everything fine for me, maybe because I am using a different system to you lot, (I am using Internet TV). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: DougR Date: 30 Oct 01 - 03:12 PM I use Netscape and had no problems getting in. Sometimes I do, of course, but I assume that is because the servers are down. DougR |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Jon Freeman Date: 30 Oct 01 - 03:16 PM I think the reason that there seems to be so many different experiences here is that IP addresses seem to be cached at various parts in systems which can include the borwser's cache. I have just remembered the problems some people had when the Annexe was moved to a new server and new IP address. Some people got all the new site, others the old and some a mixture of both. Im my case, I had to clear all by browers' (3 of them) caches before they would constantly retrieve pages from the new IP address. Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,53/Glenda at work Date: 30 Oct 01 - 03:56 PM Hi, At work I can access easily. At home - no luck this morning and Bob said he hasn't been able to get on at all today. :(
I will try some of the ideas I see here using the numbers and /threads.cfm as soon as I am home. Cheers. Glenda |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: kendall Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:06 PM no problem here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,lamarca Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:10 PM This is weird - I can access Mudcat by typing www.mudcat.org into Netscape on a Windows machine here in my lab, but when I try it on my Mac, running through the same NIH connection to the outside world, I get a "Server not found" message - hence my current cookie-less state. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:18 PM now - that IS strange...; unless your macs and pc's are on different subnets for some reason? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:20 PM If the IP numbers and domain name haven't changed, perhaps it's the route used to get there, or some router in the system. It may be individual ISPs that haven't updated their info. Just more guessing on my part. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,lamarca Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:22 PM This just started today - I got on yesterday and wrote my anti-sports diatribe with no problem... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:25 PM My above guesses wouldn't be right with what lamarca posted above, unless mapping for Macs and PCs were different. Oy! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:27 PM depending on how her employer has the net setup, they could be routed differently. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,lamarca Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:32 PM That could be, MMario. I'll try to get in by typing loki or ragtime.mudcat.org on my Mac - I don't know how to direct access IP numbers in Netscape. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:34 PM try cutting and pasting this into the "location" box http://204.108.149.105/threads.cfm |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,lamarca Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:51 PM Well, that worked, MMario - but I can't just click on Forum Home to get back to the thread list. Do you know any way to direct "mudcat.org" to the new IP address in Netscape? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,lamarca Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:52 PM Ooopps! Yes, I can - now all I have to do is reset my cookie and bookmark... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Justa Picker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:58 PM Yep...now I am. Can only get in through the IP addresses..and there's no cookie, nor can the cookie be reset because the DNS pointers are not currently pointing to the server that resets cookies. I'm sure it'll all get rectified eventually. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 04:59 PM You could always just create a shortcut to the IP address. I just use my back button a lot, but Joe Offer doesn't like back buttons. The IP address is the same as always, by the way - something else is buggered. I have a feeling it'll work itself out in a day or so.
Clicky for Shorty IP number

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: ard mhacha Date: 30 Oct 01 - 05:03 PM Same as Gareth, I use Goggle search engine, the Mudcat keeps throwing up these problems from time to time. Slan Ard Mhacha. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 05:04 PM The links are wrong, Justa, but you can get a cookie. I think it will only work on whichever IP address you use to read threads, though. And I think this problem is very temporary.

|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Cobble Date: 30 Oct 01 - 05:21 PM I have not been able to get in all day, until now. Tried Loki,Ragtime and Shorty. Also tried through Google with no luck. We run on Mac. Mrs C |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,CarolC Date: 30 Oct 01 - 05:34 PM I lost access sometime last night. I just now got the IP numbers off of Jon's annexe site. But I can't set a cookie. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,53/Glenda no cookie Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:25 PM Okay, I am in. At home. I used the info I took off kat's message. Thanks! I will try resetting the cookie if I can get to the page that tells me how! Glenda |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,53/glenda still no cookie Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:31 PM I can't access help now to find out how to reset cookie. Anyone out there have any ideas for me? Bob wants to get on the Cat for the evening. He's having withdrawals from not being able to get in all day and he needs it to be easy like clicking a button, not entering 204.108.149.105.thread.cfm everytime! Hey, honestly, I am very proud of how much computer he has learned since we got this in February! Glenda |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:39 PM Well, Bob seems to have managed to post a mass of junk despite the 'restrictions' I'd be ashamed, not proud. But I'm a 'gutless' guest |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,CarolC Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:39 PM Since I can't set a cookie, I don't know when I'll be able to look at my PMs. My apologies to anyone who has sent me a PM yesterday or today, to which I have not responded. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Gareth Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:40 PM Intersting - I got a fast direct hit on my log on now, after returning from the Royal Oak. ( using the generetic threads, 21.30 ish (GMT) - but it does seem to me that the number of posts between 19.00 and 21.30 GMT is less than I would normally expect for a Tuesday night. ( perhaps a JoeClone could give some objective statistics ??) I had difficulty logging on earlier (used Google) and again at 20.40 ish GMT. (ne or two threads returned a "Server Error"). No difficulty with any other Webpages. There is a problem, as part of this problem could it be that those who are completely B******d loging on unable to report ??? Just a thought, but MAX does this need some deeper investigation ??? Gareth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Gareth Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:41 PM Even More interensting. My first attempt to send the above post reurned DNS error !!!! Gareth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Uncookied JenEllen Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:45 PM Yes, Gareth, there is an explanation, but I think katlaughing is the only one who could do it justice, she should be along here soon to fill in the gaps. ~J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:49 PM And Bert keeps trying to persuade us to buy mudcat technology! He tells us that it's cheap (mind you, he also told us that the last server upgrade cost Max $50 000) So his opinion can't be well trusted. No wonder onstage is going bust |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,katlaughing, w/an empty cookie jar Date: 30 Oct 01 - 06:59 PM I just talked to Max. He's in between moving everything from hsi office to the apt. and in the shuffle didn't get the mail which said his Domain Name bill was due for mudcat.org, so the problem has been that Network Solutions shut it down. He quickly got on the phone and paid it and it should be back up and running in its usual fashion, I think he said, in 12-24 hours, maybe longer, but I don't think it will take that long. Network Solutions knows it was important, as it was Onstafe, too, so it should be soon! He said it's been so crazy, doing major cleaning out, trying to get everything moved and the DSL installed in his apt. etc. that it reminds him of finals week at college! Ten more days and then he said his life will be mucho better and much more normal, Mudcat, too, as long as everything does what it is supposed to when he gets it up and running in the apt. IF there is any downtime for Mudcat, it could be between this coming Friday through next Tuesday and could be for a few days, so I would encourge you all to check out Jon's Annexe at www.jonbanjo.com/forum/forumlist.asp Max has booked his first professional gig on the 15th of the month and is really excited about that; says it's his first time since college. I told him he'd been doing great on Mudcat radio and would knock 'em dead. Anyhow, that's the news from what I hear. Pretty soon we'll all have our own cookies, again, and the PM's'll fly!**BG** |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,katlaughing Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:07 PM Damn, as a guest, I cannot edit my typos, either! Sorry, for those above. GUEST, I'll bet you could find a way to suck a green egg dry on a hot day an August of the dustbowl and still not be satisfied, so then you'd have to go find some sorry son of a slat-ribbed dog to kick, but even THAT wouldn't get your dried up lil' ol' pickle going, so you'd still just go on being the pitiful, mealy-mouthed bad apple that you are and nobody's goin' ever wanna take a bite out that, so I hope you've got the skill of a twister so you can kiss your own. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,LaughingJen Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:12 PM Jaysus kat...that weekend in the hills did your vocabulary a helluva lot of good. Proud to know ya sweetheart...LOL ~J |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Sorch Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:13 PM WOW!! I stand in awe of your ability, kat!! That was incredible...........sheesh, I hope I never piss you off! (and ps--none of the rest of us can EVER edit our posts!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:32 PM Kat, that's impressive! Seems like just another somewhat boring troll, though... So maybe I'm still accessing all the servers because my ISP has NOT updated. I may go "GUEST" just to fit in with other "clique" members. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: MMario Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:37 PM And there is your explanation Guest, nothing to do with MudCat or MudCat technology at all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Tinker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:41 PM Well I finally got in on AOL using the numbers and like the rest of you can't reset my cookie here. But if I log off and come back in on MSN everything works just fine.Computer has a bad case of split personality tonite. Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Jon Freeman Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:41 PM Guest, this one has FUCK ALL to do with Mudcat technology, respectfully, Jon |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Tinker Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:43 PM And I forgot to say WOW... Kat I tip my hat to a Champion. That was one hell of a good ride. Tinker |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:45 PM I am feeling left out! How can I be a Guest? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,katlaughing, with steamed veggies Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:46 PM Thanks, ya'll. Comes from being around my dad for a half a day this weekend, only his "Scotch blessings" as he calls them, are triple times better, much more eloquent. Jeri, I am sure you are right, it was just having got off the phone with a tired and ardent Max which brought forth the muse. On top of it all, Max is doing almost all of the moving by himself, with a little help from Emily, so let's hear it for the MaxMan! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Jeri (Ahhh - that's better) Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:49 PM Kat, the troll was boring, but your reply was quite eloquent! By the way, the domain name www.fuckall.com is for sale, in case anyone wants it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:55 PM Why is evrybody a Guest exept me? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Jon Freeman Date: 30 Oct 01 - 08:10 PM kat, when I went through the change with Namezco (who incedenally I would now thoroughly recommend to any UK users wanting a bit of space with some processing power - service that been excellent since they moved me), the guy I delt with on the system suggested that in his experience, it can take up to 48 hrs for a DNS change to filter through the system. OK, the IP addresses have not changed here but I think system catch up times where caching is involved on subsystems may take more than 12/24 hrs for some users... Jon |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,CarolC Date: 30 Oct 01 - 08:30 PM Looks like I'm responding to a troll. Sorry. GUEST, 30-Oct-01 - 06:49 PM... Max is a nice person, and I like him. I wish you wouldn't be kicking him at times like this. It's not that he can't take it. It's just a little sad to watch someone you like being trashed when they're doing the best they can. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Jon Freeman Date: 30 Oct 01 - 09:21 PM Sorry 'bout my FA... I just got annoyed. Tell me something does it have the same meaning elsewhere or is is used as an expression? Rephrased UK meaning in polite speak is "that has absolutely nothing to do with..." Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,CLETUS Date: 30 Oct 01 - 10:23 PM I bin noen ta do tha same thang my own self. Sumtimes tho it kin wurkout fer ya. Back when me an Paw an the Reg boyz had owr porta-shitter bizniz callt "Crappers On Casters" I dun forgot ta make a paymint on the trayler whut we uzed ta haul em round on. Thay sent two fellers ta take it back ta the trayler place an when thay seen whut it wuz we wuz a totin on it they jus left her rite thar an I got owr paymint stuff fixt all up. Funny thang tho cuz jes taday we wuz down ta the trayler playz trine ta sell her back to that feller sinz we dint need her no mor an thet sumbitch wernt gonna do it til Paw passed sum reel awful gas in hiz office an then took out a match. Thet feller began ta see it owr way then but I dunno thet he cud reely see atall sinz hiz eyes wuzza watrin reel gud. I gess i cuddent see none too gud either cuz tha check he gave uz wuz fer a hunnert dollarz insted uv a thousand dollarz so I gess we all took a fuckin witha smile. I figger tho it'll be a month ur so bfor tha smell gitz outta' hiz office. Whut it wuz thet reely made me mad tho wuz while we wuz down thair, Catspaw wuz at home with thet Joe Offer guy he callz Father Joebro an when we got back he wuz gone so we dint git ta say howd do er nuthin. catspaw sez thet Joe is a purty nice feller an he aint so bald yet but it izza gittin thin. Catspaw sez we kin mebbee meet him sum other time. CLETUS |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST Date: 30 Oct 01 - 10:32 PM A when the "best they can" isn't "good enough"....perhaps the DT should find other lodgings.... or you should find a better lover. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,katlaughing Date: 30 Oct 01 - 10:34 PM Means the same here, Jon, and was spot on. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,CarolC (no cookies) Date: 30 Oct 01 - 10:56 PM Boy, you really got me there, GUEST. I can see that I'm no match for you. I'll just go sit in my little corner, and reflect upon my mistake. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,mooman (cookieless) Date: 31 Oct 01 - 05:35 AM Dear John in Hull, Your "guestlessness" is intriguing me and I'm as interested as you to find how you and a couple of others are getting in as normal. Perhaps you have your favourites stored as IP addresses? Ah yes...that letter from Network Solutions should not be overlooked. Every two years I nearly do as well but have just "snuck in" with my pament before being cut off!!! Best regards, mooman |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Noreen no-cookie Date: 31 Oct 01 - 05:58 AM Well, this IS interesting. Glad to be back. Spoke to several 'catters last night, none of whom could get in. Thanks nutty/jon for the isp number info. Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,MMario Date: 31 Oct 01 - 08:29 AM well - had a few minutes last night until (at my best guess) my ISP flushed their DNS cache - back to the cookieless state for me today - but since I'm on a low cab diet anyway - hahahahaha! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jeri Date: 31 Oct 01 - 08:46 AM Jon, yes, it means the same. I can't figure out why I can still get in with my cookie, except that my ISP hasn't updated the DNS info. (I'm not complaining.) It would explain why Bat Goddess and Curmudgeon are also cookied, because we use the same ISP. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Alice Date: 31 Oct 01 - 09:28 AM I had no problem getting in yesterday evening, in the middle of the night (couldn't sleep), and this morning, all with my cookie. I used my bookmarked URL for Mudcat that I've had forever http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm (Netscape, on a Mac). Alice |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,JohnInKansas Date: 31 Oct 01 - 09:51 AM We have been getting in some with site names, but have been getting disconnects frequently. Of course you only know you've lost it when you try to move around. Connection with the URL #s seems most reliable, but I note that my cookie needs reset when I come in that way, and I'm (for now) unable to get in to do that. I have set the URLs as alternates in my favorites - for future use. As I understand it, your server asks the nearest router if it knows how to connect you. It looks to see if it knows how, and if not, asks the next router down the line, until eventually you get there. If something changes, some routers may retain bad addresses for a certain time - so they give you a bad address and you don't get connected. Every time you send a request, it's pot-luck on which string of routers you go through, so it's a crap shoot until they all get updated. As I'm not too well informed in this area, I may be acting the bad router - so please don't get too excited out my displanation. I'm expecting things to be back to normal soon. John |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Charley Noble Date: 31 Oct 01 - 10:51 AM Jeri was a lot of help when I couldn't get regular access. Maybe I'll re-check now and see if the system is working again. I'm working with a MAC up the Kennebec River in Maine if that is significant. I'll have to apologize to my wife whom I've accused of sabotaging my access to Mudcat. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jim Dixon Date: 31 Oct 01 - 12:02 PM I just now got in, I haven't been able to get in at all to any of the 4 servers (www, dharma, loki, ragtime) since, I think, yesterday afternoon, despite trying every few hours. Today, it worked although I didn't do anything different from normal. I use CompuServe, and I kept getting the message "site not found ... are you sure you spelled the name correctly? etc." My cookie seems OK. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Jim Dixon Date: 31 Oct 01 - 12:23 PM Still having problems. I used the "DigiTrad and Forum Search," and the "SuperSearch Results" page came up just fine, but when I click on any links, I get the familiar page, "Can't Find Web Site. Did you click on a link? The site may no longer exist or it may have moved …" But this was temporary. A little while later, I clicked on the same link and it worked. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: CapriUni Date: 31 Oct 01 - 12:43 PM Well, my cookie seems to be working... (I don't mind as long as it's chocolate chip or ginger snap ;-)), but last night I couldn't get in at all. I'm on Aol, and got the "server not found" message, was given Netscape and Digital City blickies to click... the message said, if those worked, the problem was with the site. Tried them, they worked, but when I clicked the "back" button, there was Mudcat in all its glory (except the latest messages were all dated the 28th :-/). Then, when I tried to click on a thread, I was bounced back to the "server not found" message again, and so 'round and 'round in circles I went... Glad everthing is back to normal again. Mudcat withdrawal is a terrible thing! |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: JohnInKansas Date: 31 Oct 01 - 02:07 PM CapriUni When you use the back button, sometimes what you see is an old temp file from your own machine - downloaded on your last visit, to let you load faster when you flip around in a site. Chances are - if the dates didn't match the day's date, you weren't actually connected, you were "lookin' at yourself." I've had the problem that sometimes, even when the connection is good, the back button takes me to something several days old. John |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Bat Goddess Date: 31 Oct 01 - 02:10 PM At one point this morning after pingponging between a coupla very strange (even stranger than Mudcat) websites, I started getting security messages and then when I tried to get back to Mudcat I got a "Server not found" message several times, then, I think, on ragtime, too. Came up with yet another problem, crashed (or rather locked up), rebooted and everything has been hunky dory since. I think the computer was just confused. (Probably because of of a RealAudio file saying "I am a machine vastly superior to humans." Uh huh -- I TOLD you I was at some weird sites!) Haven't had any problems since -- other than not getting any responses to PMs I've sent the past coupla days. Bat Goddess |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: GUEST,Charley Noble Date: 31 Oct 01 - 02:39 PM Well, now I can't get access again through the usual channels. Maybe this is what the F.B.I. was warning us about. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: CarolC Date: 31 Oct 01 - 02:54 PM I have my cookie back now, and I got in through the usual route. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Max Date: 31 Oct 01 - 04:36 PM We're back in action. Network Solutions had us reregistered this morning around 11am EST. Only cost me $70 (well, one of the elves who actually had a valid credit card, thank god he takes IOU's). Great News!!: The DSL in my apartment is operational. Just got it working now. It actually pings better than the T-1 at the office. Should be a nice improvement, and at a quarter of the cost. Now that we are kicking, I should be moving the servers over the next couple of days. So if you have a problem, just be patient. I will keep you informed as to which server may be out when, and I'll leave www put until I am sure everything is groovy. The timetable is to have everything moved by Monday night, so any troubles that may arise should be done by then. Wish me luck. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anyone having problems accessing Mudcat From: Genie Date: 01 Nov 01 - 02:08 AM I just had two days of not being able to access Mudcat through any addresses I had for Mucat or parts thereof, whether via bookmarks or typing them in or going by way of a keyword search that generated web addresses for various parts of Mudcat. I'm using Netscape.

But remember 'Catters, what Time of the Year this is : Hallowe'en!!! - when those spirits that wish to make mischief upon the earthplane, can and do!!! Cheers, R-J. |
