heh yeah sry again about this

my host has reposition the firewall and my server so the cable is more secured. it is amazing to me this happened but really shouldn't even happen again.. if it does, i may need to get a remote webcam to monitor the server with an intimidating laser on top of it lol

but yeah glad its working again and sorry for the troubles.

If it can't be repaired with a hammer, WD-40 or duct tape, It can't be fixed.

I think I hit refresh at least 50 times and that doesn't include leaving and coming back to the site! Man now that I finally got around to making an account and posting, this forum becomes quite addicting and costly!

You guys weren't alone. I was trying to get on LPF for OVER 3 hrs. 2 weeks ago, I had a total system crash & all I could think about was how much it was gonna cost me to straighten out this latest SNAFU. Glad it was NOT my PC this time. But I WAS sweatin'

I didn't know what to do on the internet besides coming here. I even opened Windows messenger which I haven't done in ages.

This is the only place I go to talk to others.
