Isn't there a way to flush the DNS cache on your computer?

rcnscd restarthmm, I'm wondering if my dd-wrt based router is doing something wakey with the address .... I do have an issue with Google (and a couple of other sites) periodically that I know is related to the firmware ... [just don't know exactly what ... nor that knowledgeable in regards to networking stuff ... or inspired to dig deeper] .. so that's about my only other thought as what might be the problem
I'll live with the status quo...besides, I can use timwhit's provided link from now on, which always provides a "bang on" connection.

Cityk, have you tried specifying a DNS server directly on your machine?

Access to the forum is currently very slow. I don't know if someone else experiences the slowdown too, but it is annoying.

I've been getting long waits for the past few weeks at times myself.

FWIW, today it seems quite quick. 
I don't really know. We are in a VPS environment and maybe something went bad with the setup or software. I don't really know how much someone else's virtual environment can affect ours if at all. The network could have been having issues also. I get notifications but don't recall seeing anything in the past few days.

For what it's worth, the forum restarted to be slow at times for the last three days. It is intermittent.

I haven't noticed anything wrong. Have you?

No problems here.
I've noticed an occasional lengthy time to load a page or two, but nothing that's bothered me or consistent. I also may not be visiting as frequently as others are. I've been very busy with home reconstruction (much like you ddrueding).

The site is sluggish righ now. There's definetly something happening at this time of the day.

Potentially the opening of a backup window that increases load on network or system.

I think a good objective measure of frequency of slow periods and their seriousness is the number of duplicate posts that happen. A good running setup will post quickly enough that people do not feel the need to press the submit button again. That really only shows a fraction of the problem though because most threads have far more passive readers than posters. So you know that there are serious problems, and need to do something about them, when duplicate posts start showing up with consistency
It would be interesting to see if one could plot duplicate threads over time to see if you can find any long-term patterns.

CDT, which is close enough for NA viewers.
I've tried rebooting the system. I've also opened a ticket for performance problems to see if they can check into the hardware of the machine we're on. Since we're on a vps, there are others on this system. We're supposed to have a guaranteed slice of the resources, but maybe something happened.

Seems quick now...
SF has been fine lately. I'm never certain of the problem. I know that some sites are plenty fast when SR is slow.
What was that deal with the internet being composed of a series of tubes? Perhaps something is clogged. :rofl:
