Bigasshammm Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Anyway just got my att service worked over. Included new lines to street and in house and a new modem. Well with wifi I cannot access the forums anymore. I can turn wifi off on my phone and access it that way but that's definitely not the way to go in the future. How do I fix this? I'm not very computer smart anymore. I miss dos. K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can get onto the ARC main page but when I try to access the forum, I get a blank page with "Could not determine IP address". Never seen anything like that before. This is only on my home PC, work PC and phone have no issues. For my home PC, I came up with a workaround using a proxy server but it's a PITA. I sent an email to the mod but never got a reply. All other sites are fine, just ARC forums. Weird... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 It totally has to do with the new site and now apparently the new modem I just got. Not sure if there's a fix but it's been happening to a lot of people. I won't be on here nearly as much if I can't use my wifi at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It could be an ATT thing I'm having it as well. This might be related, when i jump on speedtets.net, for some reason it thinks im in Kansas! (I'm in Florida actually) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's not an ATT thing. I have the same problem as well at my parent's place. It happens all over the world and it's very annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm in Florida actually) I'm on Comcast and have it so it's not an issue with a single ISP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 So there's no way to fix it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So there's no way to fix it? No clue what the specific problem is, but whatever it is, it's an ARC issue. Your only work-around is to change how you access ARC. For me, it's only seen on my phone over the Verizon LTE network, phone works just fine over WiFi; any other home system works. You seem to have the opposite situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 It definitely changed with the new modem we got in our house. Never had an issue before. Guess ill use my computer even less now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It definitely changed with the new modem we got in our house. Never had an issue before. Guess ill use my computer even less now. I think something is up with the ARC site, not at our end. I made no changes to my ISP or PC. About the only thing I remember doing was updating Firefox the night before. If you are in a pinch, go with a proxy server, which is what I ended up doing. It's slightly clunky but it gets you on and you have full functionality. It would be nice if one of the admins weighed in on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I am getting this almost every time on my iPhone when I'm out away from my wireless network and on Verizon 3G. All I do is hit refresh and it opens the forums up. Never at home on my phone or my laptop. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ichitoe Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't know how to link a thread to this reply, but Steve said in that thread this issue has to do with the site and when they transferred to another server. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 UPDATE So I sent Neo a message since he's the resident arc computer guru. I just received a reply that he changed something with the forums and that was when I was able to get in. So anyone else who may have been having problems hopefully you'll be able to get on now. Neo is the man. All of the beers to him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
