network troubles

The trouble you are having is not the fault of your receivers. ;D

The network the forestry forum is on is having some firewall troubles resulting in some slow connections this morning. Hopefull it will be cleared up in an hour or less.

I think there is still some issues regarding this. I have been in contact with the network folks and hopefully they can come up with something. We have been having sessions timeout on the server for some reason. I dont know if they put some limit on when they were dealing with the firewall or what but right now, it sucks!

Firewalls and network load balancing appliances are often problematic, especially if you're running your site on shared web farm.  In addition to that, tracking session state information, whether in a cookie or in a query string, can add to the complexity.  By enabling sticky bits or persistancy, you may resolve some of these issues but at a cost of performance degradation.

Ummm....errrr...I just realized that 99.44% of anyone reading this has no idea of what I just said.   

Just have 'em kick the servers a few times and that might do the trick.  Also, let them know that you're looking around for a new hosting company and that might light a fire under 'em to figure out what the problem is.

However at the very least, they should start a trace with a packet sniffer to isolate the..........ummmmm, oops...there I go again   :-\
Sorry.

Technology...gotta love it.
