Have you ever not been able to get into AW? Please read...
I haven't been able to get into AW for 2 days - again. This time we realized that it was our firewall that was preventing me from connecting to the server. DH figured it out, but I just wanted to say this in case this has happened to others.
PSA over.

We had a firewall that caused us problems until we reloaded Windows. Even disabled, or "uninstalled" firewall programs can still cause control issues. We finally wiped it out and found a new one that actually works. Just thought I'd throw my personal experience out there.

Originally posted by JoShea Can you tell me what firewall product? And is it something that RR is distributing?
Dude, RoadRunner is not the problem. I am on RoadRunner, and I'm not having any problems. I am also behind a firewall (safe computing and all that). There is clearly no one thing that is causing so many people connectivity problems.

also-
there are many isps who cache images and pages inorder to load them faster on your computer. if we have recently gone through an upgrade with something on the server having to do with ip addresses, there may be times that an isp serves you the old page instead of the new due to the caching... that would bring you to a page not found or some other mumbo jumbo.
bad news is that it is annoying. good news is that it is generally for 7 days at the most. (sometimes much less, when the isp flushes their cache)
My computer has Zone Alarm - I think that's it. It says ZA in my task bar area.
Oh, and we did not get it from RR. Sorry I don't know more. The thing is...today my Zone Alarm is up (I disabled it to get back in when I wasn't able to get in before) - but today it is up and somehow I am back in. I don't understand all this at all.
If you ahve any more questions, I am happy to help trouble-shoot this. The only thing is...I may need to have DH answer them for me.
