FR worked on my Verizon cell phone most of today, but not later in the afternoon. Now, FR works on cell phone via cellular data!

Have Cox too. Will have to try that. Have an android phone and the usual workarounds aren’t available for those as far as I’ve seen.

I put the DNS entry in my hosts file yesterday, and it started working immediately. I still did not have DNS resolution with an nslookup on my DNS server, but I could get in anyway.

I had some crazy idea that we had rubbed the higher-ups the wrong way.

Or getting too close to the heart of the con game.

Just a shot across the bow.

Rapscallion :" If you are reading this you are not blocked any more."

True that !..but he can't sign in to pings or email.
I was there just 20 minutes ago, myself, and was frustrated until I followed one of the instructions by '20yearsinternet'.

I have a question in this regards. Are we on "the we don't like you list"?

I have a friend in the computer biz. Those with Servers for clients that don't play the "Ad" games, amongst others, get on not on a Dangerous site list, but on the we don't like you list. That is more server oriented as I have been told. If I am not mistaken, Jim has his own servers. Is FR on the we don't like you list?

FR-er Computer Geeks please opine...
