Ok well I can't get the HQ to load with Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or IE6. If I go through vtunnel etc.. it works no prob. I had a similar problem on scorehero but it turned out to be my connection so I disconnected and reconnected and it worked but no such luck on here. I've also tried my my proxy server which gives me a different IP and still notta the only way I can get on here is through a tunnel which is a pain in the @$$ with dial up. So if one of the admins could look into this for me or someone else knows whats up it would be a life saver. (It takes about 5 minutes to get a page to load through a tunnel which makes it virtually impossible for me to help people out or browse through posts) _________________

Yeah I tried that right off the bat and nothin. On a good note I can get on to the site now with Firefox but its still taking a while to load pages and every couple pages it wont load at all (happened when I went to reply to u actually). I've checked my firewall quite a few times to see if anything else is connecting and system is but it almost always connects for a lil when I first get on, I also checked Windows Task Manager when I was tryin to bring up the HQ this time around and my PC's sendin the request or whatever to the site but nothing was coming back. I tried a couple times after that and it worked but its still givin me problems. _________________

Try running IE without any addons and if that works start adding them back one by one till you find whats locking you out.

I have avast antivirus running at all times. Well wes I tried what you said and it didn't help so I gave People PC a call this morning and I guess there servers just been bogged down really bad, so they gave me a new # to connect with until they get everything runnin good again on the server I connect to normally. The # they gave me is still messin up a lil but at least I didn't have to try 10 times to get on here. I hate dial up sucks soooooo bad I wish I could get high speed i-net where I live. _________________

You can... They have satellite internet services by companies like hughes and verizon... I know first hand the verizon one is fast and works nearly anywhere... all it needs is a card in your computer, no satellite dish _________________

Yeah I was thinkin about gettin verizon or at&t's wireless card but I really don't wanna fork over $249.99 for the card. There's a company that will give me high speed where i live but it sucks balls, 1.5mb connection, they limit how much you can DL every month and it just stopped workin on my buddy after the first two months after he paid for 4 months service in advance, not to mention they charged him $300 for the little ass dish a router and to install about 5 ft of cable and now he's stuck in a contract and can't even use the damn connection. _________________

Thats some shit. I can't get regular ol high speed but you will have city wide wi-fi. lame. lol. If I lived about 75 farther north than I do at&t would provide DSL to me but I'm 75ft too far from their server which I think is crap. You know most of california has fiber optic i-net up and runnin, I wish I lived there. _________________
