Eijiro down/acting up?
Nora Stevens Heath
For the past few days, I'm able to load ALC's front page, and while all
of ALC's language links connect just fine, my Eijiro queries time out.
Is it just me?

again and still no problem
here.

Damn. Just my bad luck, then. Thanks.

I had no problem accessing Eijiro just now.
But curiously, minor problems in a local network (LAN, wireless router,
etc.) may manifest themselves as an inability to connect to a remote server
like alc.co.jp.
I recently had such a weird problem accessing the European Patent Office
site, but it was solved by shutting down everything on my wireless network
and restarting.
I would suggest that anyone having such problems try this first.

part never works for me.
Could this be part of the problem?
I'm using Firefox 2.0 and I was able to access it just now to work, so
it seems to be working fine.
HTH,

Hmm...are you using Comcast for your ISP? If so, I would have thought
it was a Comcast problem, since Ken Wagner and I are both experiencing
the timeout via Comcast; then again, Alan Siegrist, another Comcastian,
is not. Maybe it's a certain Comcast router that serves only some of
their customers, or maybe I should just reset my home router, 念のために.
(I think that wreaks havoc on our various IPs, though, so I'm loath to
do that.)
A kind Honyakker has sent me a workaround that will do very nicely for
now (and possibly in the future as well). Nevertheless, here's hoping
the Comcast network unkinks itself soon.

I am also a Comcastian (located in Delaware, US East Coast), but have
had no problems with Eijiro today.

As have I, Wednesday morning (EDT). Go figure.
Thanks to everyone for providing so many points on the graph on this one!

Same here. I couldn't access alc.co.jp from home on three different
computers with three different types of security software (two PCs and a
Mac). I called Comcast, and even though the help person couldn't access alc
either, she insisted it was something on my end like my router. But, the
thing just started working again yesterday evening. I guess rushing downtown
to buy the CD must have fixed the problem.

I'm glad to hear (from another post) that your Eijiro blues have gone away
and that you are back in the pink, but 念のため your routers should have the
settings stored in involatile memory, so turning off the power should not
cause undo havoc (you will probably have a power outage sometime anyway).
You do need to remember to turn off all of the components including the
cable modem (or what have you) and all computers and printers at the same
time and then turn them all back on, so that they will all go through their
initialization routines to acquire the correct dynamic IP addresses and
such.
This part is the bother when fixing network problems.

Argh! That should be "undue havoc." Undo havoc would be when the undo
command goes haywire.
