How does one determine the route to a website? 3cat I just got on, today. Running a trace now. how you do it, is to go to the command line and run tracert and then the name of the website, in this case, itchmoforums.com the line looks like this tracert itchmoforums.com then you will get the route that a packet takes from point to point. It runs quite slowly, indicating to me something along the way isn't right. Try it with some other website and see how long it takes. Not sure what the problem is, maybe like Nabiya said, maybe they have changed the DNS settings and it is taking time. In any case it is very slow. db |

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.

I'm here, I think Trudy is still trying and can't get in. Anyone heard from Petslave? I have to go now, I hope I can get back in later!

db, just ran tracert itchmoforums.com
Mine has a max of 30 hops.
6 hops. Took just seconds.
Does anyone know if this registry key change is a good idea? I don't know for sure. Just a way to minimize DNS caching problems, looks like (if you have never done reg edit, don't start now):
If you wish to stop XP from placing negative entries into cache, you can make this
change in your registry.
1. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Dnscache\Parameters
2. Build a new DWORD value called NegativeCacheTime and give it a value of 0
I believe the default time is 5 minutes. I always use zero for my default time, but I think the value above is in seconds.
So if you only want to save them for 1 minute, then I am assuming you would change that value to 60.

6 hops. Took just seconds. 3cat Mine took over a minute and took 20 hops. I am running win2000, not xp but the reg fix is not something that I have heard of. Mine is set at 300sec (5min) but I don't think that is the problem. Too many not able to get in from all over the country. db |

Well, I guess nobody knows what all that means. Yesterday I think there were some timeouts and failures that aren't there now.
Petslave is back, by the way. She said she didn't fix anything on her end.

Do you know how this relates to the tracert?
Klondike All trace route tells you is the route that the packet takes from your personal computer to the web server. We would have to compare the routes among all of us, way too much work. I tried a few things yesterday to find the DNS and couldn't. db |

Finally able to get back on. I use aol. We've had no problems in the Tucson area with outages. When I tried Itchmo.com and Itchmo forums; the AOL search page came up - couldn't find and the page had chinese letters on it...
Glad to be able to get on again - it was terrible for two days not knowing what happened!

Trudy says she now has access, but can't remember her password. She gets a message that her password has been sent, but she has not received the email with her password. Is anyone able to help her?

Catbird, can you get in touch with Filbert for Trudy? I know he's helped others with that problem.

Good pic of db working on that problem, Klondike!
Has anyone done a virus scan? Mine does an automatic one every day & comes back clean each time, but yesterday my computer was really slow online & locking up a lot, even when I wasn't trying to access the forums. I did a manual scan & it came back with 31 instances of the VBS/Small.n worm. Not much info out there on that one, but apparently it goes into your computer & gets your PASSWORDS, then sends them back to the originator. It also takes email addresses from your address books & sends itself out to everyone on the list.
I didn't see any info on the type of email it would send. I'm really careful about opening emails & haven't gotten any really any strange ones lately, so I'm wondering how it got on here. Maybe a webpage somewhere? Now I wonder who has my passwords out there, and what they plan to do with them. I don't order or bank online, so hope they can't get too much info.
