Anyone having trouble accessing the J & L site?

[Pan]

Could be site overloaded, i forgot to ask were you having problems with any other sites? There are a couple of virii and malware programs that can casue this to happen. Could be overload in your area on internet in general. I read someplace that the internet slows by as much as 30-50 percent on christmas day and then 10-15 percent on new yearsdue to high traffic. I have been able to access J&L all day though i did not try to play an order with them. Though i do want the calendar.

No problems with any other sites. Kind of annoying.

It clearly said online that no phone orders would be taken and FYI, if you ever have been to their boxing day sale, you would know that even with ALL their staff working, they have no time to answer the phone, It's bad enough just waiting to pay or get any salesperson to help you, just because of the volume of customers.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Yah I saw the no phone orders, but I thought they would answer for questions. Oh well I dropped them an email so hopefully they get back to me soon

Err, the site is working fine...

There was some changes made, but nothing that should have any impact on you being able to see it. On the day they released the boxing day pricing, there was some minor downtime (under 10 mins) but immediately after, I placed an order through them online without an issue myself.

The packet loss on that just ping site is actually due to a firewall jl is running. The site is icmp rate limited.

You can check it out yourself by opening your start menu, clicking run, enter "cmd" (remove the quotes). You should have a dos window now. Type in ping jlaquatics.com and hit enter. You could also type in nslookup jlaquatics.com and post the result. I bet somehow you are seeing the wrong IP's or something for the site.
