Website Connectivity Problems

Post by virgil »

This forum works fine for me, except for one specific instance; my laptop (primary computer) through my home internet, whether it's wifi or physical line. If I try to load the Den, it will usually fail to do so.

If I use any other computer that's on my home wifi, they go to the Den without a problem. If I have my laptop connect to the internet through any other connection, be it my phone's hotspot or a friend's wifi, it loads the Den just fine.

Virus scanners, power cycles, etc. Nothing has fixed this problem, and I'm at a total loss why this happens.

Do you have the same issue across multiple browsers?
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

If you're using Windows, try clearing your temporary data (CCleaner isn't bad for that) and then open the command console ("CMD") and enter this: "netsh winsock reset catalog"

You need to restart, but chances are you'll be able to connect after that. It's some black network magic I found on the intarwebz when I had the exact same problem you described.
