Forum running slow

Not really as Mark needs the results to trace where the problem is.

If anyone else wants to ping or tracert the site here’s what you do if you’re running Windows:

  1. From the desktop, click start
  2. Select Run
  3. In the Run box, type command
  4. Click OK
  5. The DOS window will pop up. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type ping www.gtouk.co.uk and press enter.
  6. You will see some results pass through the screen.
  7. It will tell you if there were any packets lost in the transfer (0% loss is what you want to see).
    8 ) It will also tell you the average speed, in milliseconds.
  8. To close the DOS window, type exit at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt and press enter.

To Tracert instead of typing ping and then the web address you just type tracert :wink:

You can type your results or as me you can print screen and post up the image.

Well done Smudge

mine was running like shite so I changed to gtouk.org.uk and everything was a lot better. Is that the right address or not as I was using gto.co.uk before and it kept chucking back errors etc.

both .org.uk and .co.uk are hosted on the same ip address :wink:

You can also right click on the black box, pick mark, then select the text you want to copy, then press enter. This will copy the results into the clipboard so you just paste them into here with ctrl+p

Apart from you pinged the wrong thing?

Mark

Well they say they have made some tweaks to the server.

You guys will have to tell me if you still got issues, as it works fine for me, and always has.

Mark

I did have problems a few days back but has been ok for a few days now…
The two below are using the two diffrent addresses :wink:

Mr Toad its is unbelievably slow now… i now have to try 5 to 6 attempts to move pages… :cry: :cry:

I have re-opened the ticket with the ISP

Mark

It’s worse thsan ever now. Same issues as per Rob above - assuming I can even post this.

sorry to add this.but you may have seen my reply for the sale of a decat. well i had to keep refreshing to make sure i had first bids, was absolutely slow.

It’s really strange, the ISP can’t see anything wrong they keep posting me proof from lots of test sites that everything is fine.

And it works fine for me…Which makes it really hard or me to work out what is wrong.

I will keep at it though.

Mark

It’s funny because the forum is running ok for me, only had it hang a couple of times earlier in the night but no other problems since.
Just done another ping test :smiley:

Running like a dog here as well. Other sites just fine… ping and tracert showing nothing odd either. Very strange.

Seems to be working fine now? I did have probs trying to access this afternoon but it’s back to normal now.

I changed from the O2 DNS servers to the OpenDNS ones about an hour ago, and it all seems to be working ok now… :?

Seems to be working fine here now (fingers crossed when I click submit)

edit - so far so good :smiley:
