I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with their concast cable internet connection. Thank g-d I can get freerepblic and its slow, but some websites come up and some don't. I ran a virus scan, ran spybot, and renewed my ip address. I tried to call them,but their number is busy which is very absurd for a fortune 500 company. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same?
Look at your Zone Alarm log and see if you're having outgoing "DNS" queries blocked.
I was just going to ask.
So it's just not me.
Look at it this way, if you can only ever get one website again FreeRepublic is the place to be stranded.
problems here too w/ comcast
I'm on Comcast Dallas...POS
Same problem...sssslllloooowwwww
There's been some internet weirdness in the last half hour.... I don't think it's you.
just started internet explorer and comcast is slow. rebooted with no result
...you know, I almost posted just as the first line reads (slapping forehead) hoosierboy...duh! I guess I'm of no help, good luck with finding a coherent answer.
yes, i'm having the same problem as you...i have been trying to connect to some european sites and can't get through...thank god i'm not having problems reaching FR...
I dont have zone alarm. I even set my security on my IE options all the way down and still nothing. Theres definitely a problem, comcasts number is never busy. Every subscriber in the country is probably calling in to complain.
Welcome back to the world of "dial-up"
Jimrobs matrix has us now.
Strange that we can get FR but hardly anything else. For a while I couldn't even bring up my comcast homepage and still can't get my mail page.
I'm gettin free republic ok but other sites are impossible.... ebay comes and goes.... my credit card company site came in....
Uh....stop stealing my line.

I wonder does it have anything to do with the funeral for the Pope? So many TV stations, web casts, cell phones, wireless connections all pointing to and from Rome? Just a thought.
I was just thinking that today....as great as FR is, @ 80% of my bookmarks are from links/posters on FreeRepublic...
FreeRepublic the forum/WEB PORTAL for the 21st century!!!
"Connection to the Internet is currently unavailable."
Why am I able to get FR?
