Ok, so after all the trouble shooting, it appears time warner/roader runner cable is some how blocking my ability to view ARFCOM. Spent time with the techs and have used both our computers at difference locations and was able to surf fine. Tried the wifi on my pda and it won't load the site at home. Not the router etc etc. Used the annomyizer (spelling) website and was able to view the site. Time Warner says their test computer gives them the same "timed out" etc page, but they claim that is because they are on firewalls etc that might do that, so it must be a problem with the site. I'm doubtful as they don't have problems loading the site themselves when not running it from my line.
WTF? |

I'm actually in NY with the problem. Time Warner tech says that it appears not to be a problem with my equip or the site. That only leaves one other option.....
ETA- I have friends with rr too and it's not a problem, but it seems to be isolated to my line and only arfcom. My university web mail wouldn't work for a day as well. |

I've really had it and my wife is flaming pissed (she teaches con law/ civil liberties and is a bit of a gun nut, so this pushed her over the edge.) We don't have cable or a contract, just the internet. Need to find out what's available in my area. |

Used to work for aoltw awesome pay no job security and leave your morals at the front door. But did I mention awesome pay? Cleared 35k with taking 3 months off for vacation. Desk was scattered with gun magazines and hunting mags never had anyone complain about specific web sites not working normally it was just complaints about shitty service in general Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I'm in Buffalo I figured it was an ISP issue strange thing is ping properly resolved to an IP address and replied, so it wasn't a dns issue nor was it a general blockage of all traffic to/from that IP |

my zip is 14226- same exact dead time as me. Interesting. The second guy at time warner I talked to sounded like a bad Rush Limbaugh impersonator and laughed at me- said "obviously it's my web browser." He quit laughing when he realized it was on tw's end and apoligized.
friend of mine in the area was getting it the entire time. different zip though. Quoted:
