ok tried every last suggestionyou guys had so far, no good. darnit

[roguedog]

did you try it on firefox? curious because that'd give an indication about if it's browser specific or osmething else that's causing the problem..

[aka_kim]

I've tried it on Firefox, with the same - or maybe worse - results. With IE7, after an interminable wait the banner and part of the page will display before timing out. With Firefox I get nothing at all. So the problem isn't browser-specific. And it's probably not a pure Vista problem either, since I can access TE from a Vista desktop at work.

I would guess there is a plugin that this board requires that hasn't been added yet. I don't believe it's IE7, cause I'm viewing from it right now.

[chickwhorips]

sounds like it is more of a connection problem.

do you have slow internet connection or go through some special router?

[SouthernBelle]

I just remembered. When I first set up my wireless network for use with my laptop, it would not accurately access certain sites. I had to upgrade the firmware on my wireless router, which was easily done from the company website.

[logdiva32]

Tried on Firefox, nothing. I have highspeed comcast. No other sites are a problem.

[roguedog]

do you have something like zone alarm or some other type of software firewall installed? could be prohibiting traffic to teamestrogen.com unless you explicitly ok the traffic.

something like this is what it sounds like since you are able to go to other sites but not this one.

logdiva32 and aka_kim,

I am having the exact same problem too! I got my new home desktop computer late last week and was weary of Vista but had to get with the times. TE is the only website that I can't view. It just hangs in etherspace. Firefox is my default browser, but it nor IE can view TE. I have highspeed comcast with McAfee as my firewall. Used ZoneAlarm with Win 2000 before and no problems. Tried changing all the settings... still nothing... sniff sniff whimper whimper...

Are any of your new computers a Dell by any chance?

[logdiva32]

I have a gateway laptop. I took it back to circuit city today. They are restoring all the factory settings since I bought the display model and they did no do it at 1st as they should have. The tech mentioned that they install some restrictive scripts on the display models that should be removed before sale. So I hope that works.

[aka_kim]

I've got a Gateway too, but it wasn't a display model. I'm also running McAfee...

[chickwhorips]

i have an HP and i'm running norton.

I think something's changed at TE. I have it set to remember me on both of my computers - work's Mac and my PC laptop. Recently, though, I have to log in each time I access the site, even though I've clicked the 'remember me' box when I log in. Whassup with that?
