RE: Why does this site take so long to load each page? ... - 9/17/2007 11:35:53 AM    DevilsReject Toys For Tots Fund Contributor Posts: 7857 Joined: 7/29/2005 From: Indianapolis, Indiana a.k.a Hell Status: offline Okay, here's what I've been able to turn up information wise thus far.... 1.) This issue is primarily affecting Comcast users 2.) This issue seems to be affecting people who have routers/wireless hubs more then those who dont 3.) This issue seems to be directly related to DNS problems, which can cause all the problems you are having... The most basic use of DNS is to translate hostnames to IP addresses. It is in very simple terms like a phone book. For example, if you want to know the internet address of en.wikipedia.org, the Domain Name System can be used to tell you it is 66.230.200.100. DNS also has other important uses. What I'd suggest everyone who is having this issue do, is go to this website... https://www.opendns.com/start If you dont connect to a router/wireless hub, then you need to click on the correct version of Windows Operating System in the list. You will see a few rows of pictures of routers on the left, and the Windows options are in the middle. Click on the correct version and it will walk you thru the setup process. They have some icons where you can choose your particular brand of router......but if you dont see yours listed, then click here: https://www.opendns.com/start?device=router Basically what we are trying to do is change the way your computer connects to the internet....and this may help. I strongly, strongly suggest that you only do this if you feel confident in your computer knowledge. I cannot guarantee that this will fix the problem, but I do believe that the issue is inherent with Comcast, as I can show you 1000's of complaints against that company on this issue.... I'm available for any and all help I can provide. _____________________________ Are you in the Midwest??? Well we are doing a Charity Car show in Indiana on July 12th. Click me for details!!!!

I can remember at least 5 times in the past when Comcast had DNS server problems and I had to use dnsstuff.com website to temporarily find numerical IP addresses manually.

The gifs would make it load slow. I have lag problems when I use Firefox on DF, but not IE or Avant. _____________________________ Dodge News: http://www.dodgeforum.com/forumid_42/tt.htm http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3051794 (in reply to HankL) Post #: 33
