Where's eBay?
« on: November 18, 2004, 03:48:43 PM »
For the last couple of days i've been unable to access ebay or any of the mirrors.  Is it just me?

It works for me.  Have you tried a traceroute?

What's a traceroute?

Okay, things are serious now.  My girlfriend just reported thata a few sites she uses are doing the same thing.  After clicking on the link, i can't get past the "looking up" phase.
I've tried loading old prefs back in, but the same thing happens.

AAAGHHH!

Adaware
Firefox
Spybot

Gentlemen, you befuddle my brain with talk of strange programs which do not exist (at least on aminet)  Why should i need them anyway, everything was working fine.  I must have tweaked a pref somewhere, maybe in Genesis as the same symptoms occur in Ibrowse and Aweb.

eh, eh , eh :-)

yes sometimes the suggestions here, are a little bit "redoundant".

Try to delete ALL the Cookies and/diskcache, although should be an ISP related problem.

Bye

I never save cache or cookies.  If it is an ISP problem , will it just "go away" eventually?

You need to accept cookies for some sites (especially ebay) so they will be saved on your hd somewhere.  Unless you've got a setting that clears cookies and history before or after every session.

I'd check them anyway just to make sure :-)

Oh thank the lord.  I had the brainwave of switching off my router for 10 mins and it worked!  Aahh, sweet, sweet shopping!
No i deliberately don't save cache and cookies as my machine tends to be rather crash happy, and corrupted cache / cookies are a BAD thing.
