Since ~Friday I have been unable to access the forums from home, but it works fine from work etc. I figured it was down for maintenance but 3 days I figured was a fluke.

Any insight?

I had the same problem... ended up resetting my router to the factory defaults and setting it up and reconfiguring it all over again and now it works. Quite a pain in the butt... what are you guys doin over there? :D

Where are you guys at? I am having same issues. Work access is down to. I can however access the home page. Thought maybe the dns for forums.anandtech.com changed. I have tried all I know. Im remote via garage box out of Raleigh, NC for now.

Location: Wilmington< NC (Coastal/Eastern Carolinas)

Location please?

I switched DNS servers multiple times with no luck... would that have helped if that was the cause?

The only thing that's different is my IP address. For some reason Comcast gave me a new one after I reset all my junk.

would be nice if we were told. Im guessing many just cant get on to report.


Seems isolated at this point though.

Maybe it is growing issue.

I had the same problem (since Friday night) up until about a half hour ago.

I tried everything I could think of including disabling all security programs and firewalls to no avail. I even did a TRACERT and it showed that it could go through every hop until the very end (208.65.201.106) where it timed out.

What DID work was I cleared all of the temp internet files (cookies and offline stuff included) and this worked like a charm.

The REALLY strange part was that NONE of the 4 computers in my house would work before clearing internet files but once I did it on ONE computer, all of the others worked fine (without touching them at all). Seems like it was a DNS change on AT's end (just a guess though). I'm no expert but maybe clearing the internet files allowed/forced my router to reset the DNS or something???

Anyway....just glad I can get here now.

I'm still for the DNS argument. Clearing whatever information AT has stored on your box could help you resolve the address again.
