Cobb website seems to be down. The repubs attacking the green site

[wlubin]

now to try and stop their effort to raise money for the recount?

[BlueDog2u]

1. I had not problem with the link

[Buzzkitty]

2. it's down for me, too

not working. Hmmmm.

[truehawk]

32. It's BACK UP at 2:09 PM EST

[Jawja]

3. Had no problem getting into

Cobb's site. It's blackboxvoting.org that I can't get into.

[gorbal]

4. Does anyone else on Verison DSL?

Every now and then there is a site I just can't access from my computer, even though others can get it from theirs. I couldn't get Democracy Now for a whole month, and I could figure out why. I even restored my computer to factory condition and re-updated everything JUST to get on the DN site, and for some reason it didn't work for another month.

[genieroze]

23. I have Verizon

They stink. Cant get into Bev's site either. I think they are republican ho's IMHO.

[dmac]

5. Maybe they are just updating..... n/t

[boi1946]

8. I haven't been able to get website Cam Kerry's been using

since yesterday-- vri@dnc. Can't get the Greens, either.

[dmac]

14. Now this is weird

I just got a letter from [email protected], thanking me for my donation and generally asking the extent to which I would want to be involved/receive mailings. I am seriously considering being one of the 2000 they need to go to Ohio during the vote count -- however, I cannot get any of the links in the email to work - not by clicking and not by cut and paste. Did anyone else receive this letter and are they having the same problem? IF so have you found a way around it? Thanks.

[PeterPan]

33. just reply to the email and leave the subject line unchanged

if you can please join us in ohio - the campaign says they have only 600 of the 2000 volunteers they estimate they will need!

btw this article includes interviews with kerry people that suggests they are involved in the developing recount story

stay free!

[dmac]

34. I need real dates to make sure my kids are covered

while I am away. Are dates available? The email I received didn't mention any.

[Jawja]

6. I'm not on Verizon....

but it has occurred to me that it could be an ISP related problem.

I know that blackboxvoting.org is blocked where I work.

[BlueDog2u]

9. Let's put it up so we can keep testing from here

http://www.blackboxvoting.org

I did not have a problem.

[Eric J in MN]

13. fine for me (nt)

nt

[scurvy_n_disastrous]

15. no problem- n/t

[wlubin]

7. Or maybe, and I only admit to knowing only about 49% of all this stuff,

can it be that the repubs are messing with Domain Name Servers? That is why some of us have probs and some do not, in other words the DNS that one of us uses may not have been affected yet, while for others, they have? Anyone ever have the same prob. with repub sites?

[MelissaB]

10. I posted in another thread that

I haven't been able to access the site all morning. First try was about 7:30 central time.

[Buzzkitty]

11. not dsl--comcast

and I still can't access it. Strange. I can get to bbv.org though.

[Eric J in MN]

12. I've been able to access it fine all morning, including now (nt)

nt

[ccarter84]

16. can't access it noon est.

and i'm on a college campus...which I think might have verizon...but not sure

[NMFreedom]

17. Hmm

Okay, I haven't been able to get into cobbvote.org today either. So I just tried something. I have two Internet Service Providers (ISP). I hung up from the one I was using. Dialed into the internet with my other ISP and I was able to connect to cobbvote.org So disconnected from that ISP and dialed back in using my original ISP from this morning, the cobbvote site once again, did not work.... Now that is odd, can anyone explain that? Oh now I am getting paranoid! Geez
NMFreedom

[Eric J in MN]

21. reverse the words of the website name

http://www.votecobb.org/

[scurvy_n_disastrous]

18. no problem w/link n/t

[wlubin]

19. I get a "connection was refused when attempting to contact"

error message. Does everyone who can't access the site get a similar error message. You may not get the exact thing because I am using an obscure browser called MOzilla.

[NMFreedom]

20. Mozilla

I use Mozilla as well. So when I tried my experiment in my previous post. I did the experiment with both IE and Mozilla. So it isn't Mozilla that is the problem, some sort of server problem??? Hmmmm
NMFreedom

[dmac]

24. I just get a "page not found" error message. nt

[EST]

43. Mozilla is obscure?

[wlubin]

44. Well, this is how I usually talk to microsoft windows users of the world

who mainly use the Internet Explorer that comes with it and are unaware that there are actually other www browsers in existence, or other operating systems, for that matter.

And btw, I still can't access http://www.votecobb.org hahahaha!

[EST]

46. I just tried it from your link

and it worked like the proverbial charm. I am not so sure about Bev Harris, though. I've been assuming it's because of all the traffic, but I've not been able to access BBV.org for about a week.

[batchdem04]

22. can't access it all day today either

using Cox, even tried flushing my DNS

[proudtobeadem]

25. I can't get thru either -Have Verizon n/t

[pbartch]

26. down for me too. GOT THE DREADED Web Site Not Responding

502 Connection Hangup

[Straight Shooter]

27. I got the page just fine last night; but it isn't responding now

I'm on IE and Direcway satellite.

Maybe too many people are accessing to contribute? :shrug:

[intelle]

28. I am having no trouble accessing that site.

[Buzzkitty]

30. still no access

I haven't been able to get on all day. I find that very odd, that some can connect with no problem, and others can't connect at all. That pretty much stinks.

[Zan_of_Texas]

29. I can access Cobb but not BBV.org

Got the Cobb site today and yesterday.

Haven't been able to get Bev's site for a week.

[cyn2]

31. I can't get to the Cobb site n/t

[wlubin]

35. Everyone who can access the site, is it because you access through

a proxy server that keeps pages cached for a while? In other words maybe the site is actually totally down, but for those of us who have an isp that does not cache web pages, we can see that the site is down, but for those of us who access the web through a proxy server, it appears as if the cobb site is up, but in reality they are getting an old cached version of the webpage. To test this, when you get the frontpage of the website, see if you can access other pages at the website, pages that you have never accessed before and hence your proxy server has not cached yet.

[Dragonfli]

36. The site appears up using these "net tool" sites

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ping.ch?ip=www.votecobb.org
http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&Netnic=whois.arin.net&host=www.votecobb.org

probobly not a caching issue then.

Try a "tracert" from your local computers to see where it gets "hung up".
(isp problem?)

[newyawker99]

37. Hi Dragonfli!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[donachiel]

41. Tracert shows some wierdness on the last 17 hops.

I even tried telnetting to port 80 - no response from the server. She's definitely down. Those who are getting to it must be seeing a cached copy.

[Straight Shooter]

38. I tried again now and got it

But it's still showing the thermometer fundraiser at 77K+, as of 9am EST Saturday, so they haven't updated it.

[wlubin]

39. It is now 8:15 pm where I am and i still have nothing. It's been 8 hours

now that the site has been down for me.

[proudtobeadem]

40. I just tried again -No luck -If it continues I'm changing my ISP!

[Deb S]

42. Try....

[mcg]

45. It is very slow, but it works, volunteered and donated again.

[wlubin]

47. Still not able to get the cobb website. that makes it one day and

counting

http://www.votecobb.org/

[Jersey Devil]

48. Have NOt been able to access the site since last Friday

I tried it several times over the weekend and today and it just times out, "cannot find server" message

[wlubin]

49. I think the repubs must of done something to the DNS (domain name servers)

[wlubin]

50. HeyHey I finally got the cobb site!! After one full day of being down. I

think the repubs are sending out bad information into the DNS (domain name servers) system.

[mcg]

51. It is still back up, $14,919 still needed.

$85,081 of $100,000 mobilizing costs has been raised.
