- - PBW Down? - Back up! (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=9992)

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Sorry guys is my fault. Every time I try to partecipate to a PBW game the server goes down.

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Despite the rumors I am very much alive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The DSL is still down, I was able to get connected through a dialup modem to get you guys an update.

And before you ask, no I cannot run PBW through the dialup modem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The ISP is sending out a tech Monday. They are saying it's something in my wiring. I think this is unlikely since all my phones still work. I suppose the router could be having problems, but my LAN runs through the router and it still works. I suspect it's something at the CO, but they have to do things the way they have to do them I suppose.

I turned auto proc off Friday at around 6PM. Don't know how many games ran before that, hopefully not too many.

The server is fine. I can still reach it through my LAN even.

Before you ask, no you cannot come to my house and play PBW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hopefully things will be back up sometime Monday. I'll keep you posted.

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Thanxs for the update Geo..

Guess its back to being eaten by the Sharks in the Invulnerable challenge. If you are shivering and shaking from withdrawal symptoms like me then give Stone Mill's Invulnerable Challenge a go - it is way better than any old SP game!

By the way, the link to make a paypal donation in my sig is now fixed. I guess I screwed it up the other day when I was playing around with my profile.

Donations are always welcome, although I must remind you the current down time today is simply a technical problem wiht the ISP, not a lack of funds or anything hardware related with the server.

In fact I am going to see about getting a credit for the couple days without higspeed access here once this is all straightened out.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL, Thermo...hehe.

I might be the closest...Atlanta and Ohio. Seems like there is a regular player in Tennessee, though. I'd offer up my ISP but Charter doesn't stay up nearly as well as Geo's ISP has.

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Good luck on getting the credit Geo. Keep a log of all your down time. At the end of the month break it down by days, and figure your billing based upon that number.

Days / Montly Cost = Daily cost
Daily cost / 24 hours = Hourly cost

You total up your down time and figure it for your hourly or daily cost and that is your credit owed amount.
