Problems accessing the Bench all weekend

[quambomb]

Is anybody else having issues accessing The Bench? I couldn't get on all weekend or most weeknights last week even after trying with different computers and browsers.

Please let me know if this is a known problem and if there is a possible solution. Thanks.

I had similar problems last night. Tried on the phone too and same thing. It happens once in a while. All we could do is wait it out and try back in a couple hours or the next day.

Glad to know it wasn't just me. Hopefully I can be back to trading soon. Thanks!

I think there might be a bigger issue at hand as I couldn't access this site all last night (trying to log in every half hour) on different computers and browsers. It works now that I am at work during the day though.

I haven't had any problem getting logged on. But there have been a few incidences of a process getting hung up for a minute or 2. Specifically it tokk a few minute to save the edit of one of my posts.

this has worked for a charm for me, maybe its time for you guys to try it too.

you guys are describing the DNS error. i would suspect your dns is set to auto detect, and if you were to change it, ie hard code it to

"seems that to resolve the bad gateway or loss of connection to the bench its a DNS error and a simple flush of the dns will not always resolve this issue. after some extensive talks with a microsoft tech it seems that you may have a issue between the proxy server and the individua pc's and a way to fix it is to use the specifit 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 dns instead of auto detect dns. "

this works on the standard windos systems if your using a mac then contact your isp becasue i have no idea how or why them things work. and if you are not sure on where this is located at in your windows system please please contact your isp they can show you and even via remote assistance DO THE task for you.

so far this fix has worked like a charm for me. try it and if your not confident doing it call your ISP and have them assist you in doing it.
