log on delay

[JHC]

The past couple of days it has taken forever to log onto the site I don't know the cause, my isp or the site overloading??

 

[Contratrombone64]

Your issue is happening somewhere between the your computer's keyboard and chair?

 

[Krummhorn]

Load averages should be just less than 3.00 ... at this moment with 74 guests and 6 members online, our load average for the last 15 minutes is 0.08 - which is quite nominal. :up:

My response time logging in seemed normal at this moment.
Just checked my DSL connection speed (speedtest.net) @ 12 MB down and 875 KB up.

 

[JHC]

Mine has settled and now OK, it must be my ISP cause the bit between PC and chair is slightly erratic but that is normal

 

[Krummhorn]

. . . cause the bit between PC and chair is slightly erratic . . .

Nice to know somebody else has this same problem as I do ...

 

[Contratrombone64]

LOL @ Lars and Colin

 

[JHC]

Yeh, I live in the country side and have BB but there are too many people on it and at times it just about grinds to a halt particularly when school finishes

You just can't trust those guinea pigs in the running wheels will generate enough electricity in country N.Z., eh bro? (with thuck Niu Ziln accent)

We tend to use Hamsters over here, has anybody done a study on the relative wheel performances of the two species?

We are a bit away from the exchange and a good rate is roughly 2.75 MB. A little better at the office.

When it is busy in the evening you would sometimes think it was snail mail.

Blessed Krummhorn,

When I log out of MIMF and then log on awhile later it takes three attempts with member name and password before I can access the Forum for posting. Any ideas on how to resolve this situation?

Respectfully yours,

I use Firefox as my browser and that stores my usernames and passwords for different forums and other sites I use regularly.

Some studies show that guinea pigs can generate up to 1.75 ampere more than hamsters. But then again you have to remember about the energy loss depending on what kind of wires are being used to connect the animal to the PC.

I have had no problems whatsoever, I have wireless broadband and it takes me straight in.

Sorry folks, lucky old me.

Yo, CD :wave:

I'm thinking it might be more related to your ISP ... did you ever have this problem before your last move? I always get on here the very first try everytime ... the server does not give any preferential treatment to those of us with admin rights. I've heard of instances where Frederik has had delays in getting logged on, and he lives within 50 miles of where the physical server is located.

There were times when I was forced to use Cox Cable (due to a stupid monopoly contract with the city in which I live) that I had connectivity issues, creepy crawly s-l-o-w internet connections, dropped service and the like. I bailed with Cox when Qwest installed FOX lines in my neighborhood ... my DSL connection is three times faster than Cox's cable.

I use Firefox as my browser and that stores my usernames and passwords for different forums and other sites I use regularly.

I too, also exclusively use Firefox ... the feature for storing login information is very handy, and I can manage them quite nicely from within the browser.
I also routinely change all my passwords on the sites I frequent at least once every 90 days. It's a pain in the wazoo, but it just makes good sense to me. I also keep all ports on my firewall closed except for those that are absolutely necessary. If I haven't "authorized" the use of a particular port, the intruder simply doesn't get in.

So does IE, but I do find Firefox a bit quicker, one to keep clear of is Google Chrome I had a lot of problems with it but it was the fastest yet

I never change my p/w in fact I use the same one for about 90% of sites, it's only when a site won't accept it that I change, but then I am the only one using the PC, I changed from Norton to McAfee and have absolutely no problems with security etc

Yes, I had this problem before I moved but I never really gave it much of a second thought. I'll give a holler to my ISP. Net service in Moscow City is Fiber Optic and hyperfast - Yeowsa!!!!!!!!

One can also check their own connection speed using speedtest dot net.
