I am stuck. en Fri, 09 Jan 2009 07:53:54 +0000 http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26676 Thu, 29 May 2008 20:24:55 +0000 whs 26676@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hmm, you did not change any KAV7 settings, neither did I. You have Ghost, so do I. I guess I am on the wrong track. But it must be something at the system level because it impacted both IE and Opera. Maybe it does not like my Netgear Modem/Router. Because other than that, I don't have anything exotic (a few Applications, Office 2007, Spybot, WinPatrol and the stuff that comes with a Dell PC). Puzzeling! But the good news is, with Norton IS there is no problem. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26675 Thu, 29 May 2008 20:13:09 +0000 ScottW 26675@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>whs, I have Norton Ghost 12. I know yours it 14, but I don't believe there is much difference. I haven't messed with the settings in KAV7, I just let it do what it wants.</p> <p>Maybe KAV7 is being too aggressive with it's Internet protection? You could try turning off Web Anti-virus and look for other settings related to network or intrusion protection. Can't think of anything else just now. KAV7 has not caused me any trouble. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26669 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:56:16 +0000 whs 26669@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ScottW, that's interesting because mine was also AV 7.0. There are (at least) 2 possibilties. a) I may have a program that conflicts with Kaspersky (Norton Ghost would be my first suspect) or b) you made some Kaspersky settings that I did not have. I only had the vanilla installation without changes. Any thoughts? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26668 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:51:24 +0000 ScottW 26668@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm running Kaspersky AV 7.0 and not having problems here. With both Firefox 2 and IE7 I can log in and read posts. I don't see any difference in the forum using either browser, though FF is my primary. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26641 Thu, 29 May 2008 18:32:46 +0000 whs 26641@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I really don't know what to think about it. Maybe it considered the stuff from the Forum as Pop-ups. It just would not load them. But since I like to get at the Forum from all my browsers, I chose the Norton route. Now I have 3 Kaspersky license keys sitting around - but fortunately I did not pay for them. They were a free promotion. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26623 Thu, 29 May 2008 17:59:04 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 26623@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>hhhhhhmmmmmmmmm..... very suspicious wouldn't you say so? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26621 Thu, 29 May 2008 17:57:16 +0000 whs 26621@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack, everything worked. I just could not pull up Forum posts. No problem with the main page of the Forum, but from there, I could not get anywhere. It did work on AOL though. But they do their own security checking. The Vista Firewall was off. So there could not have been a conflict. There might have been a conflict though with my Norton Ghost. I just uninstalled Kaspersky and installed Norton IS. I prefer Kaspersky but at least now things are back to normal. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26611 Thu, 29 May 2008 17:27:34 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 26611@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>so other sites work on ie and opera or just this one is bad? could be a firewall that is maybe doing it. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26605 Thu, 29 May 2008 17:01:32 +0000 whs 26605@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I uninstalled and reinstalled Kaspersky. But the same problem persists - in IE and Opera. I guess I have to get rid of Kaspersky. Fortunately I have some product keys for Norton IS and McAfee (not my prime choice) flying around. But who would have thought that I can work perfectly well on AOL. Good, old AOL does at least that well. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26586 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:54:03 +0000 whs 26586@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Unfortunately the damn problem is back. And again, if I disable Kaspersky, it works fine. I guess I have some homework. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26517 Thu, 29 May 2008 03:21:30 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 26517@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>maybe it was just coincidince </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26492 Wed, 28 May 2008 23:56:37 +0000 whs 26492@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You may be right. Now things are back to normal - even with Kaspersky running. I wonder what the role of Kaspersky was in all of that. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26485 Wed, 28 May 2008 23:06:11 +0000 The Geek 26485@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Somebody else in another thread mentioned a similar networking problem... I'm wondering if there's something going on with internet routers. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26482 Wed, 28 May 2008 22:59:38 +0000 whs 26482@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sorry I made such a mess with 2 posts. But as far as I could see, this first one did not go thru. Then I switched Kaspersky off and things came back to normal. But that, of course, cannot be the normal mode of operation. So I have to chase down the Kaspersky guys. Maybe an update today did it. Everything else on the web works normally though. Go figure. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26480 Wed, 28 May 2008 22:50:16 +0000 The Geek 26480@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>It seems to be working fine for me, I'm guessing there's a network issue going on.</p> <p>Connection requests per second aren't out of line with norms. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/is-there-a-server-problem-i-am-stuck#post-26479 Wed, 28 May 2008 22:47:55 +0000 whs 26479@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>With my IE I cannot pull up any posts any more. Just the Forum top page. With Opera I can pull up the posts, but I cannot log in. Anybody have similar problems. New Topic is about the only operation that works. </p>
