Don't do that Lee.

From what I understand, 1 LM post and both you and the poster could be in deep poo poo.

Well this is the first time I've struck the problem! 8 and a half minutes to open this thread from scratch. 4 minutes of that time was getting through login after I cleared cookies??????

Post by **BobHelm** » January 9, 2012, 8:41 am

Similar here as well Dero.

My Firefox bookmark automatically takes me to signed in, looking at New Posts.
That took an age to open, but eventually did.
However, if I then tried to read a new post, or go to the Index it just 'timed out'.

Tried 3 times before it eventually gave in & let me post against this thread.

The last time while the New Post page was actually loading for me I signed into both Teak Door & Thai Visa & out again before the UM page actually loaded....

Post by **trubrit** » January 9, 2012, 8:58 am

Yes very bad this morning . Not only signing in but changing topics then reading them. All taking ages. Now for posting

And again this is because teakdoor is hosted in Thailand and Thaivisa is hosted in Singapore, while udonmap is still hosted in the US.

It seems to be getting worse for me. Horribly slow loading times. Sometimes get the following:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Udon Map is the only site where we have problems. All other sites load/open quickly. We have three computers in the house and the same problem occurs on all of them. Many times I have just given up trying to log in to UM and go on to something else.

Reporting from Nong Khai: Same as it's ever been, maybe a tad faster (since less users on?).

Other NK members may wish to re-confirm this.

Seems your problem is most likely up thataways, but possibly between your ISP (which one you guys using? TOT?) and then to UM's web host (where is that exactly, Lee?)?

Thus seems to me a specific routing problem per above, since 1) other sites load for you OK; and 2) some of us don't have any problem with UM: there's not that many people complaining.

Not sure what members with issues have in common? Doesn't look like location. What ISP are you all using? The same one most likely, I'd venture.

Then again, I'm no expert in networks, just an attempt at deductive troubleshooting. Good luck.

(And maybe flush your DNSes?) Other members know much more than me and can advise from here.

And now back to as quick as anything....

Obviously a glitch to all this morning, which is nice, as I get a bit paranoid if I think that I am being singled out!!

I am on 3bb as an ISP...

Post by **parrot** » January 9, 2012, 9:14 am

Logged on today fast as always. TOT landline, windows 7, Opera, also logged on using IE9 just to check. No problems.

Per my last comment, FWIW:

To flush DNS cache in Microsoft Windows (Win XP, Win ME, Win 2000):-

- Start -> Run -> type cmd
- in command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns
- Done! You Window DNS cache has just been flush.

To flush the DNS cache in Linux, restart the nscd daemon:-

- To restart the nscd daemon, type /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart in your terminal
- Once you run the command your linux DNS cache will flush.

Glad to hear it's not just you, Bob! (Although it does seem a bit slower here now! Easy on the bandwidth, eh?)

Other people OK now also?

Been getting the exact same thing as above for a couple weeks now, off and on and only this site. Last night started again from about 2100 until about 0500 this AM. Gave up trying around 0700. Tried again about an hour later, same thing. Finally on now, but dragging.

Post by **jackspratt** » January 9, 2012, 9:20 am

Ban Dung, ToT ADSL, W7 and Firefox 9 - no problems. =D>

Post by **Jed** » January 9, 2012, 10:01 am

Reminds a bit when I used to have 3BB (and also many problems).

Funny how some of these issues disappear when they start work Monday morning...

Post by **lee** » January 9, 2012, 11:16 am

I was having the same problems this morning, fortunately it seems to have cleared itself now. I sent a pm to the host this morning but they couldn't see anything wrong and could browse the website without any problems.

I agree with Jed that this is looking more like a ISP related problem since I am using 3BB also, members using other ISP's or ISP's outside Udon don't seem to be experiencing the same problems.

Anyway fingers crossed this doesn't happen again, and thanks to everyone for the feedback, every little piece of info is very useful.

Post by **old-timer** » January 9, 2012, 12:52 pm

OT's not had a problem in the slightest. Always a fast connection to UM using a local network 3g dongle, google chrome and Windows 7 and located in E. Africa. And no problems using the same thing in the UK 2 weeks ago.

OT................... $\:D/$

"Is everyone telling lies then"

What makes you say that? It's obviously a problem that's affecting some people, but not all. I'm sure that Lee is happy to know that his customer base in E. Africa can log on without problems........
But it may be worthwhile asking all those who do have problem to identify their isp.

Post by **trubrit** » January 9, 2012, 3:07 pm

All back to normal in NWS using TOT land line . $\:D/$

Post by **Dudde** » January 9, 2012, 3:57 pm

Don't know what package you guys who has 3BB as your ISP use, but the premier package should be giving you better access too the international network nodes. Maby someone who has primier can confirm if this is true?

I am located in Southern California, USA and also have experienced a few problems with error messages and slow response. The error messages were received a few days ago (same as has already been posted here) and none since, the slowness appears to be an on and off type thing... not real bad right now but still slow compared to other sites. I did three traces within the last 15 minutes which you may find interesting. Response appears to degrade upon entering tinet.net. This may or may not be useful to you.
