Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
I just came back from my summer semester at my college and i am kind of glad to be back on dial-up for one reason...everysite i want to go to works.
When I was on the school network it may have been fast but i couldnt go to certain sites like this one unless i caught the network on a good day. Does anyone know what could have caused that and/or how i could fix it before i go back up?
depends on how the college's network is set up.. if it's through a proxy, you may have some troubles.. as the site automatically sends a private marked header for all pages.. which may cause a proxy to deny access.. the site may send some headers that the school wants to filter out as well. not too sure without knowing a lot more about the school's systems...
I see im not the only one that doesnt like the college networks. Its funny though since i can get to this site sometimes, but most of the time I can't get through. Guess when i want to get to this site i will just have to go on dial-up with my own ISP.
It may just have been that the network was busy. Most universities pipe all student traffic through a bottleneck - possibly even one box. Was it just one site that kept doing this or all web pages. Was the page that wasn't working especially big?
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
I tried proxies already evilmonkey, it didn't work. And I couldn't access two sites (i dont browse much) and they were devnetwork.net adn tutorialized.com.
