That's what I'm running with no problems.

Your post title made me think that you were needing the same frequency of short vacations that I feel in need of lately.

Unfortunately, this information does not tell me much - useful or what to do about fixing it. Suggestions?

Who's 'guncounter.com'?

You've got a routing related connection issue with 'www.guncounter.com'. RoadRunner appears to be a Roach Motel for packets.

Hop 5 appears to be the edge of your ISP's network, and the traffic gets handed off in different directions each time. Makes sense when you're tracing the route to different sites, but sometimes that happens to different traces to the same site. Usually means there's a routing issue somewhere. Unfortunately that sort of thing isn't something you can really control.

Thanks, so what I hear you saying is to call my ISP and bitch?

That and our site is theguncounter.com!

Three machines with various configs and its working here... I personally use win 7 with firefox....

The site is working fine for me on several machines and browsers, thanks!

My work PC is running Win 7 Enterprise and IE 9 (spit, spit)

At home, Mrs Denis' new ASUS VM40B PC is also Win 7 64-bit (hack, spit - I installed it yesterday - what a PITA!) with Firefox, Chrome and IE (spit), her laptop is a MacBook (also Firefox, or is it Safari?), and my own (identical) PC is running Linux Mint with Firefox and Chromium. www.theguncounter.com displays fine on them all.

Having the same problem as Precision, pretty much non-stop for last week-10 days.
I'm on Win 7 and IE Whatever, and it took 5 tries to get into this thread, and 32 tries (not exaggerating) to post this reply.
I'm usually on at night, but it happens 24/7 lately.

I thought it was just me.

And I don't always get the headers, or anything in a Chiclet like (Post A Reply), (Quote), (Edit), etc.
Occasionally I get the default no graphics look onscreen.

Hmmm... Try firefox if you would and let me know. I am in the server and can't see why.
