problem with banners on this site - ADSL related?
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2003 3:07 pm
i've got a weird problem.
just got connected on broadband internet
ADSL
for some reason, banners don't load properly on this site's (www.cdrlabs.com) pages. any other site i tried, a few in Israel and a few in the US (cnn.com, hotmail, yahoo) all banners load fine. just here in cdrlabs it doesn't work properly for some reason.
most of the time the banners don't load and i just see a small 'x' in the upper left corner of the rectangle that's supposed to contain the banner. sometimes with the banner's name next to it. sometimes in see in that area the familiar "The page cannot be displayed" text.
however this is not consistent, if i hit F5 (or Ctrl-F5) repeatedly, sometimes the banners do load correctly. sometimes i have on the same page banners that loaded and ones that didn't.
tried deleting temporary internet files, offline files, cookies, resetting Web Settings in IE. all of which didn't help, just as i had expected.
went to www.java.com, clicked on the download button, and after a second got the message "You now have the latest version of Java software". since obviously nothing was downloaded (1 second) i'm gathering i had the latest version of Java VM before too.
my ISP's tech support are clueless and can't help me out.
and just to clarify: i've never had this problem before i changed to ADSL today.
anyone got a clue as to what's going on?
admins: any chance this is actually a problem with the site's servers
