Trouble getting to IWCC

I have been trying to get to the IWCC homepage every now and then for the last two days, and every time it says "host contacted, Waiting for reply", but it never sends anything. I even tried just going to www.xmission.com and it won't respond either. Is anyone else having this problem? -- Brian Fox Nass '96 BGN 'A' Driver http://www.4w.com/pages/fox [link lost in import] Fox Motorsports _______________________/\/\_____ \_ /////// __ __'_--/ "Sly as a Fox" \-------/ / /\______/ / Speed doesn't always /_/ /_/ win the race! \\\\\\ // ||\\ // || \\\\\\\\\||_//\\\\\||_//_________________________________________________ __

It did this about a month or so ago on a weekly basis and the file transfers were very slow, even with a 28.8. Things got much better for a while, but now xmission seems to be giving us trouble again.

There's nothing wrong with your provider, the problem is on Tony's end at xmission. Give it time, they'll straighten it out.

Yep, I've got the same problem. If anyone has an ftp ip for this site would you please post or take the time to email me the cars96 for nascar (us version) Erik Sanders

shooting through ***space: Brian -- Blame Xmission, our Internet Service Provider. This is one of the downfalls of being non-profit -- our server sucks BIG time. At one point I had looked into getting a Virtual Server, but 100 bucks a month is much too expensive for me to afford, especially with a new baby to care for. I'm looking around for an ISP in Utah that hasn't oversold its bandwidth, but it's not looking good. -- IWCCCARS Project Coordinator http://www.xmission.com/~iwcc/project.htm Hawaii Racer ID: IWCCCARS

The problem seems to be fixed now. I stopped by and looked at the pictures of the future queen of computer motorsports, congratulations. Also, in absence of a Michigan cars96 update, I have changed the spam car to match sunday's race if anyone would like to download it. It is at http://www.4w.com/pages/fox/spam.zip. There is no link to it on my page, you will have to follow the one above. I mainly just did it for people in Nass '96 who update their car set every week(assuming I'm not the only one). -- Brian Fox Nass '96 BGN 'A' Driver http://www.4w.com/pages/fox AND/OR http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1238 Fox Motorsports _______________________/\/\_____ \_ /////// __ __'_--/ "Sly as a Fox" \-------/ / /\______/ / Speed doesn't always /_/ /_/ win the race! \\\\\\ // ||\\ // || \\\\\\\\\||_//\\\\\||_//_________________________________________________ __

I have a problem also, but Tony has been having trouble with the server and wants to move to a Virtual Server to help speed things up. It isn't just his site but EVERY site that www.xmission.com has. -- http://user.mc.net/n9ldx McHenry Com Service Provider http://www.mc.net #2 is #1! > >I have been trying to get to the IWCC homepage every now and then for the > >last two days, and every time it says "host contacted, Waiting for > >reply", but it never sends anything.
