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! |
