Ok, I didn't know where to post this... but I would like to see if we can get to the root of this… It doesn't seem to be a DNS issue, but a strange issue none the less.
So, here is the deal. If I load the URL Movie Props, Costumes and Scale Models | the RPF it pulls up just fine. But, as soon as I click on something the browser icon spins for a few seconds, then stops and the homepage is still there in my browser. Then if I click on something again. (any link) It just spins until it finally times out and says “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”. At that point. I can’t get it to load at all any longer. Not even the homepage. The homepage does initially load (not cached), as I can see updated dates and time stamps on the forums… This non connectivity seems to last for a good ½ hour or more… then I can do it all over again. Just getting to the homepage.
BUT, if I don’t go to the homepage first, if I go to www.therpf.com/junkyard for example. All is fine. And I get all around the site just fine. But if I go back to the homepage… it all starts over again just as above and no access for me for at least 30 minutes or more. It’s like the site is blocking me?? And it’s not just my computer. If I jump on a server in my same network and do this same thing it happens there to. But if I jump on a server in a different city, it seems to works fine.
Is there something that could block my IP on the homepage? But not on the other pages? It’s like it’s putting me in a time out. This seems to only happen at work from what I remember… Could my work have some sort of strange block on the site that could do this? Seems like if they were blocking it, it wouldn’t ever come up.
Best Regards,
Jamie
