What I have been experiencing is network problems. And it can vary where the problem is at. For over two weeks I could not get to here. Now I can. Now I can't get to my own forums! It is the pits.
I did a tracert and find it is a blocage along the way. A switch/router having problems and nobody watching it. Unfortunately, that is part of the free Internet.
Hopefully someone will wake up, fix it, and things will return to normal. Have patience. Like I said, it took over two weeks to get back here. BTW, I was able to get here at work. It is all in the routing and routing tables.
