Answer» My Dell computer runs Internet Explorer 6.0. My ISP is Road Runner via Time Warner Cable. Now for whatever UNKNOWN reason I am intermittenly LOCKED out of the site. I can access every & any website on the face of the earth EXCEPT the FGMCC.com. When I try to get on I get the IE error message that tells me the site is unavailable or busy.
The last time this happened (last month) I could not get on for about 24+ hours. In that time, I contacted our web guru for the club, Lloyd. He checked evverything on his end & there was no problem with the site.
I contacted Time Warner Cable and Road Runner. They checked everything on their end & no problem either.
I contacted DELL (after hours on the phone with them) they also found no explanation. They WANT me to kill my entire home computer & then re-load everything. That is a last resort for me. I was about to do it when magically I was able to get back in the site.
Last week, another board memeber emailed me becuase he was locked out for over a day & the magically he got back in. This makes me all the more hesitant to kill my system as it is not a problem that only I am having.
I have now been locked out of our site for 2 full days. Do you have any insight as to why this could be occurring to myself & OTHERS???
I do not know where else to turn for support so thought I would check with you guys.
Thank you for listening and for hopfully some insight into this bizarre problem.
BTW, I did attempt to use firefox instead of IE but had problems with Firefox & my Norton Anti-Virus so I deleted it and went back to IE.Not Firefox, but Norton may be your bigger problem. Try to disable it, use Firefox, and see, if you can connect.Oh, wow, I forgot to mention that I am bascially computer literate...not good at techy STUFF. I do have Norton Anti-Virus & Security. I disbaled it and attempted to get into the site but still NO LUCK.
I also downloaded firefox and kept norton disbaled & still could not get in.FGMCC.com works fine for me. don't know what your problem is.
But try this link:
http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://fgmcc.com
It will take you to same page, except it is using the FREE proxy provided by anonymouse.org.Well, that link worked - I could finally get onto the website but it will not allow me to log in and post.
Partially helped......anything else??See, if you can do it in Safe Mode. Be quick, you have no protection in Safe Mode.Quote from: CAPS on November 11, 2007, 07:57:19 AM Well, that link worked - I could finally get onto the website but it will not allow me to log in and post.

At least you know it is not a problem with fgmcc.com's website itself.
Now, try the safe mode like Broni suggested. Let us know what happens.safe mode?
Is that when I shut down my computer and hit F2 a bunch of times and then choose SAFE Mode???
Here is a link from microsoft's website of the discription of safe mode and how to access it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222
It is for windows XP. It should work for you.
In safe mode, you do not boot up any drivers or any programs that usually start up when you load windows normally.
Let us know how it goes, and this is assuming you are on some version of windows.
Thank you for that. Yes, I run windows XP. Magically at about 9:15pm the website suddenly opened up for me. I was locked out of it for 3 days!! Made me absolutely insane.
I wish I knew what triggered it to happen.It looks like site itself had a problem.You would think it was the site but there are only a few of over 500 that have this sporadic problem. When it happens, they check out the site & it appears fine & everyone else is in it but me.....(sigh)
