Can't Access Rennlist via Computer
No problem on my phone, but no matter what route I try to take to get there, it just times out. No other websites seem to be affected as far as I can tell. I can go anywhere on the net that I normally do for work and personal business. Anyone else having issues?

Chris--
My regional internet provider brags about 100Mb speeds but still has to funnel out-of-local-area traffic through a soda straw it seems. There are times when RL (in Los Angeles) takes more than 30 secs for initial response. I call the provider and remind them that I pay for a business-class service, and that seven just hops within their system is unacceptable. Usually there's a pause and they ask how I know that. Doesn't make any difference how I know, three local hops is plenty. Reboot their box and things are better for a few months.
There are also times when IB's servers are just "off the air" for whatever reason. Downtimes tend to be short, minutes not hours for the most part. It's a 'feature' of the beast it seems.

Finally got it sorted out. Had to do a hard shutdown and reboot. Just odd that it was only Rennlist that was affected.
BTW, I apologize for offending by posting in the wrong place. I have never posted outside of the 928 forum (that I know of) , because that's where my "friends" are. I guess that's not proper etiquette.

Glad the issue is resolved.
