Now WHAT could be causing this? - 12/12/2005 22:20:22
I've had my modem replaced by my ISP, the last one was faulty, and at least now I'm back online with very little disruption.
But...
A LOT of sites won't load the first time I click their link, or click their name in my bookmarks, but upon clicking on them again, they load! Also, I just went to my site and it loaded without the attached style sheet loading? But clicking reload, it loaded the site with the CSS file applied.
Any clues?

Indeed!
Every now and then TPG surprise me with actual customer service though. They've contacted me twice since I went over there and had my modem replaced, and have been quite polite and actually helpful. I wonder if this has anything to do with my posts on the Whirlpool forums?
Regardless this problem continues, despite it not affecting IE and my ISP technical support suggesting to clear the history and cache yesterday, which did work, albeit temporarily.
As an example to get here to Outfront now, My bookmark link didn't work the first time, nor the second time, the message I was receiving was "www.frontpagewebmaster.com could not be found".
I've linked Outfront to my site and tried to gain access through that link, but again it said "could not be found, so I searched Outfront on Google and at the second attempt it was able to locate it and here I am.
It's frustrating and annoying, didn't happen before I received this "new" modem (I say "new" because it wasn't wrapped in plastic, just loose in the same box I gave them back with the "old" modem").
I'll try and search for solutions and if I find anything that works, I'll post it here.

Sounds like a DNS issue.
Try going to http://216.82.93.28 (It is OutFronts' IP that is bound to the domain name). Does this work? If so you have DNS issues. I would check under your network cards TCP/IP settings for anything hardcoded on DNS. also, if the above did work, call your ISP and let them know the test you did. They can then explore that with you.
Take care,
Brian

Interesting, there are a number of sites I've been having problems accessing for the past couple of days (though fortunately not OF), specifically one I'm trying to some equipment for work from, but after reading this thread I've just tried to get dnsstuff.com (which I seem to remember there were problems with a couple of months ago which if I remember rightly was something to do with NTL and proxy servers), and I'm getting:
quote:
FORBIDDEN: Pre-fetching abuses our website.
If you are using the FireFox extension 'FasterFox', it is very poor and will block you from websites that it abuses. Please uninstall it (and perhaps add a comment to the FasterFox page. If you are not running it, you are running some sort of poor extension that pre-fetches pages that it shouldn't (ones without a 'link' marker). Once you have done this, you can re-load this page. Note that if you do not remove the rogue program, you will continue to see this message occasionally.
If everyone did this, it could easily quadruple the load on our server.
NOTE: There *are* other programs besides FireFox that do this (Google Toolbar *shouldn't*, but might; a rogue web proxy may as well).
Wondered if it was a return of the old problem, and on FF I have neither FasterFox or Goofle toolbar, but interestingly I just tried it in IE - and the site came straight up!

That is very interesting womble. Are you using 1.0.7 or 1.5? I still haven't installed FF 1.5, because of some doubts.
In the 1.0.x versions of Firefox, Prefetch was enabled by default. Not a good thing in my opinion, and I found how to disable it. See here:

I wonder if that might help you?
