can't access THT

[wiley]

IF someone who uses RB sent a DOS attack to THT then I do not want them as part of this forum. With work, DOS attacks are traceable, I hope they find who did it.

Big hugs ... move on

Sounds like closure to me.....

To this day (I kid you not) there are still a few wayward people out there who think I opened THT solely to promote and sell yellowfin boats!

[rchanner]

I still see people asking if you and that Wiley are one & the same

Bob,

Really?

Is your alter ego lobstercatcher? Out of line dude.

Just because you bought a new router to get back on THT, don't blame Wiley, or anyone here, no basis for that.

It's the internet.

I'm not exactly sure why but its been a little while since I have checked in here. This was a fun thread to read to get back into the action.

What happened at THT had absolutely nothing to do with Wiley. It was a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on the servers. The reason for residual difficulties in signing in is also nothing to do with your router, and everything to do with the new IP that is acquired when a new router is installed. You can accomplish the same thing by releasing your IP and acquiring a new one, which is a little more complicated than a reset of the router, but there's a 14 year old on YouTube that can guide you through it easily enough.

The short version of why there are still problems signing in is that a ton of IP's get blocked in order to stop this kind of attack, and they have to be sifted through to eliminate the ones that aren't problematic. The ones that seem most affected appear to be mostly overseas, a big hunk of comcast, and a smattering of others.

Again: It has nothing to do with Wiley, and frankly, it's pretty surprising that anyone would think so.

So in other words my IP is on the [which happens to be Verizon] chit list.Verizon has run tests on my router

and they tell me that it is OK.

When I, or RB, is accused of this I take offense and make those back-at-cha comments to let you know how it feels.

My sentiments (tactics) exactly.

Nice to see 'some' of the THT gang here. Hi Rich, hi Matt, and hi to......oops never mind.

I have a Verizon router as well. I was able to release my DHCP lease and get it to pick up a new IP. Had to power it off for about 30 minutes after releasing. You can google changing the IP on a Verizon router and find the steps to do it.

This feels like it is bordering on the inappropriate. If so, my apologies.

Hey Joe.
