Access to CathInfo

  • Hi All,

    Yesterday, I was unable to access CathInfo on my computer, but I was able to access it on my phone.  Now, I seem to be able to access it on my computer again (and I did nothing on my end).  Did anyone else have this problem?  If so, do you know why that would happen?

    Thanks!

  • Almost every evening I am unable to have access, although I don't have any problem at any other time. I am speaking of round the hour of 8 or 9pm Eastern Australian time. I have no idea how long this lasts as I give up trying, and am off to bed.

    The only reason I am on now is because it is too hot to sleep at 1.30am.

  • Hmmm...I was hoping that time matched up with mine, but for me it was around 4PM EST.

  • My ISP "gave" me a new IP address to go with my new router, which screwed EVERYTHING up.

    Let's just say when you're running a webserver, you need a STATIC (permanent) IP address which never changes. That is why I pay $15/month EXTRA for this feature from my ISP.

    Unfortunately I didn't know how their system worked -- apparently when I present myself with new hardware (i.e., a new router -- the thing that actually connects directly to the Internet connection coming in to my house) their system didn't recognize "me". It thought I was someone else, so it served up a new IP address.

    So I sighed, switched everything (including all the websites) over to the new IP, and after a day or so, everything was good. CathInfo 24h traffic/logins were back to normal.

    Then early in the morning Friday, my ISP gave me my OLD IP address back (I didn't ask for this!) so I was back to square one!

    I had to change everything over to the OLD IP address, and begin the 12-48 hour propagation AGAIN.  By nighttime Saturday, everything should be back to normal.

    I couldn't access CathInfo last night from my phone either. 48 hours after 9:00 AM Friday morning, everyone should be able to access CI from anywhere.

    Stupid ISP.
    Want to say "thank you"?

  • OK, thanks for clearing up the mystery Matthew!  Last night I was trying to figure out whether it was a computer issue because I could get on with my phone.
