Exact same problems I was having.I was using Macafee that Comcast offers for virus protection.Best thing you can do is dump Norton and Macafee and use AVG Free edition.Takes only a few minutes and works like a champ. Joe

My buddy has a Skeeter with a big ass motor on it.GPS at 71 if I remember right.Scared the quack out of me but he swears them bas are really fast and you need a fast boat.Helmet and life jacket are not optional. Joe

Good stuff Corey,2 buddies of mine worked at Worldcom,one cashed in his options as soon as he could and bought real estate,he is a millionair a couple of times over.The other hung on to his...well you know the story.There is nothing wrong with taking a little off of the table and playing with the houses money! Joe

OK,I am officially back on OFC now.I am using AVG for anti virus and Zone Alarm Version 6.5.737 for my firewall.My dads computer geek recommended these two programs and they are free.There are some specific ways to install the firewall and the newest version has some conflicts so if you are going to go this route consult your geek of PM me and I'll put you in touch with the guy who helped me out.Hope the rest of you guys find your way back. Joe

I just uninstalled Macafee and had no trouble getting onto the site.Now I need to find some protection. Joe

I have taken out 4 wasp nests in the last few days here.I prefer to use starting fluid and a badmitten racket...old school all the way.I guess I did it wrong cause I remove the nest and whack the ones that come back to rebuild.If they build a nest out by the garden or woods I'm ok with that.They built two on my deck by the door and two in my shed where the bird seed is so they had to go.Its quite the rush swatting them buggers when they are peed off! Joe

Update.Still cant access the forum page from my desk computer.The laptop still works.Had to replace my moden for unrelated reasons and still no OFC.Hope to hook up with Corey to work thru this.I miss you guys! Joe

I'll be ther in a couple of minutes. Joe

Pm works fine on the laptop Roy.Send away. Joe

That is correct.The wierd thing is I can get to the login page thru the "lowfi" version and from there acess gallerie,help,chat,news ect. I dont know why I cant get into the forum page.Chat works fine for some reason.I tried plugging the computer directly into the cable modem but no sites worked. Joe

Thanx for the replies.Checked the date and time and it is correct.Updated Java cause it needed it.Art sent me a lowfi version of OFC and it works but I cant post from it.From the lowfi I can get to the log on page and log on but cant get to the forums.Any other ideas? Joe

Bump,anyone have any ideas? Joe

This is getting silly,I had Art do a restore back to Thursday and no dice.I have not changed anything here and evry other website I frequent is working like a champ.Checked the lan stuff out also.Has anyone else ever had this happen?The computer I am on now is on a wireless linksys from the same cable line that my other one uses.Does it have the same IP?What is going on here? Joe

I dont think so Roy.Not sure how to check though. Joe

Thanx for the replies.I disabled the firewall and logged out on the laptop but still cant load the site.Its just so strange because I didn't change anything on the computer from the night before.Any other ideas of what it could be? Joe

Should have redflagged the race and set the field.No excuse for not doing so.Everyone watching knew that Robby was gonna take out Ambrose.I predict Robby will be parked tomorrow.Brian,I think it was just too expensive for a lot of the regulars.They dont make the big bux like the cup boys. Joe

wont work with Firefox or Exporer.All other sites work fine.The laptop is on a wireless modem if it makes any difference. Joe

I'm on my laptop cause my other puter wont log onto this site.All was well last night and this morning it would not log on.The little windows logo flaps around but nothing happens for a long time(5 minutes or more).I have cleared my cookies twice and dont know what else to do.any ideas?I really really hate this laptop. Joe

That was a great finish!That Robby Gordon is such a class act,What a putz,talk about the ugly American.Exellent venue for a race,thanx Montreal. Joe

Should be a blast watching Borris and Scott race today.Got to turn left AND right today. Joe

Remind me not to surf where ever those guys fish! Joe

Not sure that one will make it but may not be a bad thing.Sharks will shake their insides up so badly when they fight that the die.They have no bones,only cartelidge so their guts move about easily.Landing one in the surf does not bode well for a big one like that.Beach may be a bit safer now..nice shark though.

Top of the food chain!!!Nice fish. Joe

I would have to hang lots of blaze orange on that before I would drive out with it.Some guys see horns and shoot! Joe
