    Navigating the webiste is virtualy imposible, takes MINUTES just to load a page such as forum that is IF IT LOADS AT ALL!.  When you press play now the game window does not recognize your logged in and then keep getting messages unable to connect to internet, try gain.  MY INTERNET IS FINE, I am able to navigate other web pages perfectly.  This site seems to get worse and more and more issues NEVER BETTER.  Why not sack all your programmers and start again??  They seem to cause more problems than what they solve.  And you wonder why players are leaving daily

    That doesn't really tell you very much.

    The Internet

    Routing and service tiers

    Packet routing across the Internet involves several tiers of Internet service providers.

    Internet service providers establish the world-wide connectivity between individual networks at various levels of scope. End-users who only access the Internet when needed to perform a function or obtain information, represent the bottom of the routing hierarchy. At the top of the routing hierarchy are the tier 1 networks, large telecommunication companies that exchange traffic directly with each other via peering agreements. Tier 2 and lower level networks buy Internet transit from other providers to reach at least some parties on the global Internet, though they may also engage in peering. An ISP may use a single upstream provider for connectivity, or implement multihoming to achieve redundancy and load balancing. Internet exchange points are major traffic exchanges with physical connections to multiple ISPs.

    Large organizations, such as academic institutions, large enterprises, and governments, may perform the same function as ISPs, engaging in peering and purchasing transit on behalf of their internal networks. Research networks tend to interconnect with large subnetworks such as GEANTGLORIADInternet2, and the UK's national research and education networkJANET.

    It has been determined that both the Internet IP routing structure and hypertext links of the World Wide Web are examples of scale-free networks.[47]

    Computers and routers use routing tables in their operating system to direct IP packets to the next-hop router or destination. Routing tables are maintained by manual configuration or automatically by routing protocols. End-nodes typically use a default route that points toward an ISP providing transit, while ISP routers use the Border Gateway Protocol to establish the most efficient routing across the complex connections of the global Internet.

    It is certainly slow on this side of the pond this evening. Guess I'll go down the pub instead.

    I hope anyone with computer issues will soon have them resolved. Some humor till then:

     

    "If a packet hits a pocket on a socket

    on a port,
    and the bus is interrupted at a very
    last resort,

    and the access of the memory makes your
    floppy disk abort,
    then the socket packet pocket has an
    error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item
    followed by a dash
    and the double-clicking icon puts your
    window in the trash;

    and your data is corrupted cause the
    index doesn't hash,
    then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!"

     

    The rest of the poem here:

    WGT has a new theme tune...

    P.S.: Only took me 38 mins to post this... Win95 never felt so fast!

    Cheers, BBD
