Is Rush's site down?

[Queen-of-the-IXers]

Has anyone else found it difficult to access Rush's Web Site? This is the second day I get nothing when I attempt to go to http://www.rushlimbaugh.com.

Nope. Got there with one click.

If you're trying to access from work, your Sys Admin may have blocked access to that site.

Maybe his ESPN exposure has bumped up his traffic this week?

I hope not 'cause I definitely want to lisen to the replay tonight! Rush was at the top of his form in the 1 PM hour. I only caught bits and pieces today but what I heard was great! I think this day needs to be flagged as extra special.

Especially good rip into LIEberman - Rush has that berk dead to rights on two bald-faced LIES in last night's debate.

I'm listening to him now.

Thanks to each of you for your reply. I just figured out the problem. Yesterday I read an article posted on FR about a security flaw in the Internet Explorer Web browser, got paranoid and went into IE's Internet Options and disabled the active scripting feature. Bad news! It kept me from accessing both Rush's and Blizzard.Com's sites. Your responses started me thinking and helped me to remember what I'd done. I just now changed the setting back to "enable" and can once again get Rush! Oh, here's the URL from the FR post I mentioned, in case you're interested.

Check your disgronificator. Sounds like it might be acting up.

Funny thing is ... I got in with a web browser though; his site/a router must 'block' pings (and traceroutes) to the actual server ...

_Jim, is that a joke? Did you set up Linux to have a WINDOWS prompt?

I used to have a set of DX10 and DNOS OS prompts/command 'shortcuts' transliterated under VMS on the VAX too ...
