HELP

This site is in bad shape. Seems like for the last week or so just constant time outs, connections refused, etc, etc. Reminds me of what it was like a year or so ago, totally unusable. Come on fix it Fodors!

I haven't had problems. Maybe it's your computer???

Deb

No problems here either.

Phantom

Maybe the problem is operator head space. I'd refuse to pay the bill until the situation is resolved.

steffi

Nope, no problems here buddy. I think its your cheap computer!!

I also had trouble w/ my internet explorer yesterday, particularly. It was not the computer or the connection (which is constant). This site was particularly bad, other urls came up promptly.

Yammer, yammer.

Be a part of the problem or a part of the solution.

If you'd like to do the latter, learn to use TRACERT (if you're on Windows). If there really is a problem with the Fodors site you can help them by sending objective, useful information.

Open a DOS window.
Start|Programs|MS-DOS Prompt

Type tracert www.fodors.com
(space between tracert and www)

You'll get a display of the route a query to the site is taking, and the length of delays (in milliseconds) along the way. You'll see the max, min and average.

If there are long delays (over 500 ms or timeouts) near the beginning, the problem is near your end of the connection. In the middle, a problem on the Internet, near the end, Internet or Random House (Fodors).

If the the end numbers look bad, send a message to Fodors containing the tracert results.

Just ran a tracert now and Random House and Fodors are a tad slow, but well under 200 ms ... no problems there, or on the 'net from here.

Wrong internet-breaths, my computer is state of the art, high speed, coming in on super fast dedicated lines via *work*, not sucky dial up lines, and it is bad, bad, bad. As suggested by buzzard breath boy above the tracert shows all the long delays at the Fodor's end of the hops and not here or in between...so back off nerd faces and next time don't be so quick to jump in some ones soup...you all are a bunch of arrogant butt wipes

Really Now

Do You really need to go on like that with immature language??????
Why don't you contact Fodor's directly?
We can't do anything. Obviously most of us are not having the same problems as you. Hope it works out well.
