How do i find out why I can't connect to the FISD? I have to use a proxy to connect.

 

I have Road Runner Broadband.

Do a "traceroute".

I have the same problem at work. It hangs and says that I can not connect?

What do you get when you do an nslookup on forum.whitearmor.net on the machine that isn't connecting? And do you see this problem for other websites?

i highly suspect it is a problem with your service.. i have used RR broadband for several years without many issues (except for several dead cable modems) it could be your modem is failing. try unplugging your modem for 5-10 mins. when i start getting any type of reoccurring connection issues i just pull my modem and return it to the local RR office for a new one. i think ive done this about 6 or 7 times lol. and it always fixes the issues...

 

if you're using IE. There's your problem.

 

Switch to Firefox or chrome

 

it could also be malware or a browser hijack but troubleshooting is hard without knowing the systems specs.

 

 

also if you have an old Motorola modem they are total trash and (technically) its not really the modem, its the dns server failing to recognize your mac address. a new modem will have a new mac address, thus fixing your connection issues

Well, It seems to be my router...

 

When connected, I get Page Cannot be displayed. When I remove the router, it comes up fine....I have router firewall off and still no deal...It's a Linksys WRT54GS2. Do I need to change settings?

I've tested this site on IE8 and it works fine, fwiw, so I can guarantee that is not the case of any issues.
