It was my sock’s fault – well, more like winsock’s… heh.
All I needed to do was to reset my Winsock.
After weeks of troubleshooting what I thought initially as a server, then an ISP problem, I narrowed down my site loading issues to my computer’s. I initially disregarded it because my site loaded fine using a different ISP, or my Globe Tattoo stick, and also loaded fine using proxy servers.
But when I saw it load nicely on Jean’s PC, and not on mine, well I thought that something was up.
True enough, after resetting my winsock I managed to fix whatever the problem was. I am not quite sure what caused the problem – it could have been some ad-ware… But at least it is working fine now.
Man, I was not able to post anything in here in a long time. Now, we can have more regular updates. Yay!
Well, it’s not like I was not updating anything. During the time that I was not able to post anything here, I was posting in the site’s facebook page (Mauru’s Realm / http://tinyurl.com/2g46s8w) and those who “liked” or became a fan of it got updates.
I really am very happy about the result. So excuse me while me and this tiny cat have a high five. *high fives*
In case you are wondering what I did… Here are the instructions to resetting your Winsocks.
I recommend that you have a copy of your TCP/IP settings somewhere for it also removes them and returns it to default.
