Server not found AGAIN...

[robinson46176]

OK, this is just getting silly... I am now at the point where I can only get on here about 30% of the time or less when I try. I spend a "LOT" of time on-line and this shopsmith dot net is the "ONLY" site that is doing this. I have tried 3 different computers (with 4 different operating systems) and so far I have tried with Firefox browser on 3 of them and Sea Monkey and Epiphany as well on this one and Firefox and Opera on another one.
Repeating... I only get that error on THIS site. It has about reached the point that it just isn't worth the bother. Sometimes I can get on shopsmith dot com but not shopsmith dot net.
The only way I ever get on is just keep trying later and eventually without changing a thing it will work...
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!! :mad:

Your not alone farmer. Same thing with me. Happening more often than in the past. Like you, I just try back later.

Hi,

I'm not seeing this at all... so if we are to believe it is a shopsmith problem then shouldn't we all be seeing this?????

I am on and off here sometimes as many as maybe 20 times while other days it maybe be only 10 times and well of course sometime I'm not here for days/weeks/months. Some times I leave the tab set here and other times I close it and have to use a bookmark to return... and over the last while I have been checking in a fair amount since I working in my computer room a great deal.

So I wonder what common item ties those with problems together and what is missing from the ones of us who are not seeing the problem.

For the last 6 weeks or so I have changed my DNS server to test the google set up. Just this last while I'm seeing some problems with the 8.8.8.8 in both reliability and speed. Anyway just to see if anything happens different for me I will be moving to a different set today for more testing.

Interesting. I haven't had much luck getting on more than a few minustes each day for several days. Has anyone visited with Shopsmith in this regard? I suspect I will try Monday. Jim

I have been having the problem on and off for about two (maybe three) weeks. My experiences are the same as described here. Some times it comes up and some times NO.

Yes, I have communicated with Wes (the WebMaster) and he is working the issue.

Ed, I think that your location may give you some immunity. When I do a tracert, I can tell that the link goes in and out of the Chicago area. Your physical location may cause your link to bypass the problem zone (wherever that is).

Been reading about this and am still surprised. Like Ed (reible) I have never had a problem getting on this site or staying on it, unless I have deleted one site and quickly tried to go to another (Like back one reference). When that happens, (only twice) I'm sure it is my problem and my computer's. All I have to do is wait a while, or re- boot to go back to where I was when got in computer trouble.

I do use "disk clean up" and defragment frequently. I was told by my ISP to always use "disk clean up" before defraging! My local ISP is "RPM Wireless Internet" It is a local service that offers a secure broadband wireless. Connection speed is rated at 100 Mbps for the primary computer and is limited to about 28 Mbps in house wireless to this laptop. The Laptop is the only computer I use.

The problem happens to me occasionally, but knot like what is being described here by the farmer and Dusty.

I check this site maybe 20 times per week, and only get "server not found" maybe once per week (or less). When I do get the "server not found" message, it's usually between 8 and 10 am Pacific time.
