I’m using my Kindle with no problem. I think it might be that now people need to be putting http://www. to the front of the address? I’m not a techy and was a bit addle-brained when reading the thread.
Good morning, Jane! Hi everybody! Another beautiful day in KC. Wish it were warmer, but I’ll take the sunshine and NO SNOW. Just dropping in before saying a rosary for Trump. Read on my Facebook Page that none other than Clint Eastwood will be doing a rally with Trump soon! Is that cool or what.
Hi navymom and all!
Big day today!
Vote Trump.
Jane, is Jim aware of the problem?
The other day when I got bumped off and tries to sign back in the message was “welcome back anonymous lurker”. I thought it was odd but was able to get back on so didn’t bother Jim with it
Does not work using that info on TW in Raleigh. I can only access from Verizon and I am running out of data.
"If you want on FR right now and cant wait for the DNS update, change your HOST file that is found here.
The path under windows:
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Open up with hosts file with notepad.
And add this line.
209.157.64.200 www.freerepublic.com
You may have to change the permissions to the hosts file under Users for the file to accept or save the addition.
Click on properties and the tab security and highlight the Users line.
Check mark the boxes full control which should also automatically check the boxes for modify and write.
click apply or OK for dialog box.
You are done and back on FR. :)"
Good grief!
What a Luzzzzer
I wouldn’t vote him for dawg catcher...
All the more reason to
Vote Trump
I’m in Greene County NY. After dumping 10 inches of snow on us yesterday, the weather dropped down to MINUS 1. Crazy!! On April 1, it was 73. I hope the fruit trees survive.
I think I saw a post, on the other thread, that Jim is looking into/working on this DNS problem.
Similar problem here but no snow and just getting down to freezing. Fruit was in full bloom
See other recommendations upthread and on the DNS thread.
Hope you get FR working properly, again, soon!!!
Have you seen the TV show, “House of Cards”? or “Scandal”?
This entire primary season is like those shows.
Cruz & Heidi are like the main characters in HOUSE OF CARDS, or like the Pres & First Lady in SCANDAL. Completely fake relationships for the purpose of political appearances.
Wondering if it is just FR or if others have the problem ?
I didn’t have the problem on any other websites....just FR :(
For me, it was just FR :(
Edit C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
209.157.64.200 freerepublic.com
The alternative is to hard code the DNS servers your computer uses.
Select the connection you want to use. Click TCP/IP, and set the DNS from there. I would use openDNS.com 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 control panel network connections right click connection, properties TCP/IP Properties Where it lists DNS servers
If a name, IP address pair is found in the "hosts" file, your system won't look further to find the correct address.
I kept getting knocked off the other day and “anonymous lurker” would pop up on my welcome back page. Since I could go to previous activity I didn’t think that much about it till now. Is there a freeper named anonymous lurker ?
See post above
Come to think about it it was about the same time that the jerk spammed our trump family thread with all those repetitive posts.
Did he infect us with a bug?
Good morning freepersup!!!
