Having had to spend most of the last two weeks locked in my server room with my samba server I noticed something very peculiar. Not once did I have problems connection to the NS Forum when on my Red Hat 9.0 server using Mozilla. I thought that perhaps it was coincidence, but having run several tests now I find that when I cannot connect to the NS Forum using a windows system and IE or Netscape I can relaibly connect on my Red Hat server with Mozilla.
The next logical step was installing Mozilla on my winXP system. This did not work. No matter what browser I use on my XP machine at 2:00 p.m. (CST) onwards I cannot connect to the NS Forum. I am connecting through a T1 and I have now set up a spare system behind my desk, installed Red Hat 9.0 and Mozilla and connect to the NS Forum with no issues except that sometimes my posts show up twice.
I have no clue as to why connecting to the NS Forum would be a windows issue? I have also found that using Konqueror is just as buggy as IE , it has to Mozilla and it has to be on a Red Hat system.
I have only recently begun exploring Linux (mainly to utilize rsync and samba in my office) and I cannot conjecture as of yet as to why the NS Forum would work fine with RH and Mozilla but with winXP?
I was hoping that this may help some people and possibly even someone knows why this works, I'd be interested to know!
Incidentially it is 2:54 PM here, I cannot connect to the NS Forum on my XP machine (I tried 4 times....) so I turned around and this post was done on my Linux NS 'Backup System'
