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.

I still can't get in.


Try dinner and a movie.


And drinks, several drinks seemed to help in certain situations.




mg62 -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/13/2009 11:46:27 PM)

I had the problem this morning.  I ended up at a Nework Solutions page.  Working now, obviously I'm here.




Yakface -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/13/2009 11:50:05 PM)

It's still happening on and off for me.




Feinder -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/13/2009 11:56:44 PM)

I got the Network Solutins page as well. Obviously ok now tho (or else I wouldn't be here).

ltfightr -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 2:37:51 AM)

My first thought was Matrix was sold. [X(]




Nomad -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 3:05:58 AM)

I couldn't get here this morning, then in the afternoon I could, and tonight I couldn't again for a while. [&:]




Canoerebel -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 3:25:19 AM)

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,




ny59giants -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 4:53:54 AM)

It is now 11:50pm EST and I was not allowed on to now. [:@]

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




tocaff -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 10:50:14 AM)

I spent the bulk of yesterday being unable to reach the forum and instead I also landed with Network Solutions with the same message.  I wanted to post in my WITP AAR, couldn't, and had no turns to do.  Withdrawl..............Then last night I finally was able to get to the forum, and got a turn.  PHEW!




Erik Rutins -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 12:32:13 PM)

At a command prompt, try:

ipconfig /flushdns

That may help.




Cap Mandrake -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 3:12:32 PM)

Anyone not here please raise your hand.




Shark7 -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 3:27:17 PM)

I was unable to access the website for most of yesterday (Sun. 12-13). Obviously I'm having no troubles tis morning, but I got the ISPs domain registration page all of yesterday. Someone forgot to pay the bill? lol [:D]




Buck Beach -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 3:44:59 PM)

Nomad -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/14/2009 7:11:12 PM)

V22 Osprey -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/15/2009 5:17:11 AM)

Yea earlier today when I tried to download the new update I got redirected to that stupid site.




Apollo11 -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/15/2009 8:00:15 AM)

Hi all,

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)!

Chris21wen -> RE: Problems with Matrix Forums? (12/15/2009 8:38:17 AM)

Scared the life out of me. No Matrix, my life is coming to an end.[sm=fighting0043.gif]

Some people are ending up at Network Solutions telling them that the domain name registration has expired and it needs to be re-registered.


This happened to me at work[;)]
