Connection problem

I seem to keep running into a problem trying to connect. Since I have switched IP's or because of my new computer I usually get a "failure to connect" message. I have tried most ideas, and it doesn't seem to happen at given times or for any because of cookies etc... that I can tell. I was wondering if it was something on the website side of things.

Not sure.
You must be connected in order to make that post?
Is the site accessable to you from other computers?

Im unaware of any recent site work.

Yeah I am "on" at the moment to post this

I have tried on one of the other computers at the house and get the same problem. I guess it is something on my end then. I can get on every once in a while but then all of the sudden it is gone. When I made this thread it was the first time I could get back on since yesterday after trying all day today.

I had not been on in a while so that is why I was checking to see if it was a site thing. I will continue to look on my end.

I assume all the pc's in your house share the same connection to the internet?
If so, you may want to try on a computer that does not share your internet connection (ie, try from a work, friends, nieghbors, etc. pc).
Point is, it may be your internet provider having issues resolving DTR's IP, it may be a router or LAN line issue.
This could be tested by trying to access DTR from a pc outside of your home connection. (And preferably using a different internet provider if possible).

Yeha that is my next plan. We switched to Hughesnet a month or so ago so that may be the issue. If it happens again I will try it using my old dial-up connection since it seems to be on my end.

Thanks for the info.
