I guess I’ll just unplug/turn off modem and see what happens. If still the same, I’ll turn of computer and start up. I hope even if nothing gets fixed I’ll at least still have Free Republic.
Or else I’ll have to (shudder) call Frontier tomorrow.
Maybe something weird in my small area.
FR often works for me when our ISP is having trouble, or if one of my machines gets flaky — again, I suspect, because there’s not a lot of data flowing.
(In fact, my ISP says they’ll be down for a while tonight for upgrades, and, often communication gets flacky before I / they completely “lose the connection”.)
Sometimes other weird stuff happens too, and we can get only local pages (like the NWS radar, but not the forecast pages, or FR!)
Gotta switch back to my regular machine now, tho...
Hope the restart works for you!
