Is that something to do with throwing a small, lightweight, white plastic ball at Tonys' head?
:lmao:

'Ping' is like sending a series of sonar pulses off in the direction of the server and seeing if there is a response at a very low level. If you can get to the command line you can type:

ping bushcraftuk.com

In respone you should get:

Pinging bushcraftuk.com [195.74.52.107] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 195.74.52.107: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=55

Reply from 195.74.52.107: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=55
Reply from 195.74.52.107: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=55

Ping statistics for 195.74.52.107:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 14ms, Maximum = 17ms, Average = 15ms


That shows that the server is there in the sense that the machine is running but the web server that delivers the web content to Internet Explorer or Firefox etc was probably down.

Clear as mud now?
Cheers,
Steve

Darkest Scotland,
In a piece of pertinant irony I clicked the quick link to this thread and got the "page not found error" message :D.

Is there a problem with the site ?

Haven't been able to access the site for ages, or at least certainly not able to log on but
all seems to be fixed so I'm going to take a wander and see what I've missed :)

Sorry about that guys and girls, it was a mixture of a couple of things, one of which was Data Centre issues and the other was DDoS attacks that happen now and then, a right pain indeed. It's being looked into so that it doesn't happen again and my apologies for the inconvenience.

i think i better cobble some money together to donate some money to the running of things.

Good man :D

I like the idea of pelting Tony with little lightweight plastic balls better! :D

Could be interesting :D We can schedule it for the Moot next year ;)




Thanks All ;)
