No acute problem. However, I have had the same problem for years that I've heard others complain about.

Basically, for a few minutes at a time the forum does not respond. Particular problem when trying to submit a post, attach a file, etc.

I know the problem is not on this end because I've experienced it for so long that I have by now changed computers, houses, service providers, and even states. I've presumed it is something on the Matrix end or their service provider.


EDIT: This very post (prior to editing) took 3 minutes 'waiting for matrixgames.com' to post after I hit 'OK'.

I should also point out that I have no such problems with any other sites whatsoever.


I've had that problem very intermittently myself. I attribute it to a temporary high level of server activity. It used to happen more often - now I only experience it about once every 3 months. When it used to happen more often, I got into the habit of composing my longer posts in note pad and then cut/paste to matrix, but dramatic reduction in issues over the past 18 months has gotten me "lazy"again - so I lost one post a few weeks ago. But problem does not happen to me very often since about 18 months ago.



Still get the problem several times per day. There was a period of a couple of months when it got better, but it went back to bad. BTW, it's not just when posting, even just click on a thread or try to refresh the forum.

Try dinner and a movie.

My first thought was Matrix was sold.

Status: offline 		I've been having problems accessing Matrix Games through Explorer, but not through AOL.  Also, I've found that once the problem is fixed I still have to close out of Explorer and re-open it to gain access to Matrix Games. At the moment the problem seems resolved.  I am curious, though, about what's been going on,

I'm not having any problems accessing Matrix today or last night - but I am getting emails from number of people saying they cannot access - are there any people who have had intermittent issues? Is Matrix making any changes? Again, I have had zero issues - but I am hearing reports from multiple people who are having issues.


Joe, I think it all depend on the ISP provider...

I use several ISPs and some of them have problem (instead of matrixgames they send me to some ".com" site with advertisements) - my main one is OK (I am writing this from that ISP right now).

The problem is that my work ISP has problem... I will see how things will be tomorrow at work...


Thus, I think this is some weird DNS issue/problem!


PING from my main ISP:

www.matrixgames.com = 64.111.28.20


PING from one of my other ISPs (remotely on my workstation at work):

www.matrixgames.com = 209.62.105.19


As I suspected my work ISP still has problems...


The only (quick) way I can do is to manually enter the true MatrixGames IP into my table...


Thus:

Go to

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

edit the

hosts

file and enter

64.111.28.20 matrixgames.com
64.111.28.20 www.matrixgames.com

It's OK now (17:00 GMT) but I couldn't access Matrix from at 08:00 GMT until about an hour ago. A site wanting to sell the URL but advertising wargames came up instead.



had the same problem yesterday, no problem today obviously

That may help.

Guys, as a stopgap measure you can always do what I wrote few messages above (i.e. override the DNS of your ISP with entry on your PC)!
