Getting Sick of This!

All of them on the network.

This sounds like a block on a particular ISP, then. Check this page for information on the error.

I sent an email to my ISP. Hopefully they'll get back with me.

This happened to me a couple of years ago. I think it just resolved itself in a couple of days.

Ah well. As long as it does I'm using Bing. I may not go back if Bing works out as well as it has been, so who knows.

It's all a plot by Microsoft!!!

I've had this once before. Sorted itself out after a few days.

To be honest, I thought this for a few seconds.

I've had this once before. Sorted itself out after a few days.

Yeah, but until then I'll be using other search engines.

I would do the exact same thing.

Also try running those spyware programs in Safe Mode.

I had that happen to me once. I just shutdown the entire network in the house for about an hour, came back, and it was fine.

At first, thought this was going to be those stupid security code checks. I hate, hate, HATE those things!

It was getting so frustrating because it was happening to every search request. I do hundreds of searches a day, as I go to college online, so getting that damnable CAPTCHA 100+ times a day was just too much.

Bing's doing great, by the way. I have found every result I have searched for to be very relevant to my requests. A week ago I wouldn't have given it the time of day, ardent Google supporter that I am.

I get that a lot.

Of course, I am using automated programs for SEO that query google a lot.

I promise you, I'm not on your network. I have become your network.

It's true! Look at his avatar!

There's only one way to stop you now!

Uh... J... that's not the phone line. Please, button your pants.

That explains the pain, but where the hell is the dialtone coming from?

You could use a proxy server to get around it.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yep, I've seen those before. It usually happens when you're using a onion-skin proxy server like Tor or Privoxy. Mama Google doesn't like it when you try to hide from her.

In the last week or so I believe there have been a number of Google spiders roaming the Net and latching onto some sites, including the RavesceneBBS and another BBS which I administrate (it happened there first possibly because I was linking to it in my signature a lot and I was posting here a lot, hence multiple instances of that link) causing a sudden jump in the number of users online at any one time (our BBSes are very small in popularity, so this is noticeable).

Actually they weren't google spiders. I did a trace on a couple I caught. They originated from Bandcon, a content delivery system. It appears to generate a swarm of page reading entities whenever a web page is clicked on.

Proxy servers have been unsuccessful. I tried to reroute my connection through a few proxies and it still didn't work.

True, but I'm not using a proxy server. Other than the ones mentioned above that I used to try and get around the problem, I don't use them at all.

You're using Firefox aren't you?
