I can see msfn.org just fine but Kelsenellenelvian can't access it at all. No matter what he does. I know you guys have changed servers... but I would think his dns would have resolved by now. He was able to access it yesterday but not at all today.

Any ideas?

Or did you ban all usernames that are hard to pronounce! lol!

Tell him to check PC for zombies or spyware. Just in case.

IP Removed # lfd: (IP Removed) found to have 326 connections - Wed Nov 1 05:37:03 2006

Server firewall blocked several IP's yestarday.

It could also be that he has an entry for MSFN in his HOSTS file which is pointing to the old server..

OK thanks for the info. I will mention this to him the next time I see him.

If anyone else sees him before I do can you give him the info in this thread for me?

Thanks

It seems I got banned too.

I am under the impression that my ip is banned, after a few hours it is put on trial and when I reconnect and open too many pages at the same time, I get banned again because I look like the beginning of an attack.

:-/

I'm Back! Whatever happened that was weird!

Back too.

I hope my IP won't get banned again soon!

I'm still banned... still accessing via slow proxies...

Has anyone noticed that in IE7 that everytime you click on a thread in msfn that the page goes nuts and makes a bunch of clicking noises like you are going to ten different links really fast?

I just noticed it. I bet that is what is causing people to get banned.

I got banned again.

I'm running IE7 but the pages don't seem to go nut. I'll turn the sound back and check.

edit:indeed, I heard at least 7 "clicks" when I submitted my answer.

edit2:no quick edit problem whoever

3 clicks for a fast reply.

edit3: when I open a page, the page is quite slow to open. Then, I hear 3 "clicks" and the page displays immediately.

Yup, I've noticed that and only on this forum. I had to disable start navigation click sound because of this issue

I took care and used a computer with IE6 to connect to msfn.

To post this message I had to shut down my modem in order to get a new IP.

I attached the answer to my post.

This is what I got after opening only 1 page.

If you want to know : using TCPView, I get lots of

[System Process]:0	TCP	enermax-a64:1994	23.a4.344a.static.theplanet.com:http	TIME_WAIT

entries.

As they are in TIME_WAIT state : they close after a loooooooooooong time and we can easily reach thousands of connections. We only need to open 6 pages in less than two minutes.

I tried with K-Meleon and got no such problem.

@xper - Wanna check the logs on my IP here? I'm writing this post from IE7 at my gf's place. I've also noticed the "click-click-click" from IE7.

This issue seems to be doing a number on a lot of the hardcore msfn members from the looks of this thread. How many Super Mods have gotten banned?

Weird it only happens with IE7 and msfn.
