I live in Central Illinois and for the last hour, Free Republic has been the only website I can access. No eBay, Weather, Paypal, Drudge Report, craigslist, youtube, not even my local bank. I get the "... can't find server" error. I can't even get email. But I seem to be able to access Free Republic just fine. I mean it's a good sign for when the end of the world begins. But for right now it's kind of frustrating.
Do not question your benefactor.
The Robinsons are not to be trifled with!

I tried to get on Drudge earlier tonight (30 minutes ago) and all that loaded was the top Drudge banner and the bottom of the page (hit counter thing). None of the links showed up at all. Did a refresh and everything went back to normal. It’s probably nothing though.
Holy crap same here. i thought my dogs messed up the connection. I’m just south of Joliet.
PM me with your banking info and credit card #. I’ll check your finacials and get right back to you!
I’ve been getting weird error messages all night.... maybe the end has begun.....
I live in North Pekin, Illinois. Same thing going on here right now. I have Comcast.
If you are in the midwest blame the snow. If you are in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia blame the rain. ( which might mean more snow is on the way to the east)
And that's a problem...?
I live near Ohare....and same thing here...also....all of my family, 40 miles away...internet went down at same time..very strange...yet FR works fine.....
Drudge comes up fine from NC. Haven’t had issues with any other sites, either.
If I had to make a guess, I’d say you were having DNS problems somewhere along the way, maybe your ISP is doing maintenance or having some routing problems. If you had visited FR before you started having problems, then FR’s IP address would still be in your cache. Any new site would have its address translation fail, so you would be cut off.
Looks to be out at my friend’s house in Chicago. Comcast as well.

I also have comcast....altho now....I can get google page to load too....very very strange
Comcast has had a bunch of trouble with DNS servers over the last couple of weeks (usually on Sundays). You may be able to get FR because it is cached, or (if you’re a real old timer) you put FR in the .\windows\system 32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
Don’t look at me. My dog only eats homework. Well, and salesmen, postmen, milkmen and lawyers.
Uh, it snows here in California. Where I live 60 inches of snow out of a single storm is not unusual. Where do you think all of your water comes from?
This is not about TV, but strange things have been happening here in Austin for the past couple of months.
The lights come on at night.... not all of them... just those on push switches. We will wake in the middle of the night and the overhead light will be on... and the fan will be going, even though both were turned off when we went to bed.
it happens about once a week.... have never had this happen before. I am very suspicious of anything new that happens since 9/11.. and not sure who the real enemies are out there...
