jacobsaunders Report post Posted July 18, 2017 For the last couple of days, I have been unable to connect with Maestronet on my lap-top (in the kitchen) and receive a message from Windows (in German) that “maestronet.com is online, but doesn't react to connection attempts”. My Computer in the workshop however connects perfectly to Maestronet as ever. Can anyone explain to me (a computer dunce) why, or what I should do about it?

It was just making me fell schizophrenic that it was (is) “Down” on one computer, and not on the other (I thank the Lord that violins are not digital) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trenchworker Report post Posted July 18, 2017 I have a desktop and a laptop, both PCs. The desktop is wired into my cable in one room, the laptop is wireless in another room of the same house. I have not had trouble with the desktop going in and out of the web, but I have had trouble with my laptop. In which case I just use the desktop, and save the laptop for traveling. I have not taken the trouble to find out if the problem is the wired versus unwired, or a hardware problem. I am watching this thread to see if I can learn from postings to your problem. Good luck!

Maybe you have one of those parent-control website blockers on accidentally, and it has determined that Maestronet is unsuitable for children. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

l33tplaya Report post Posted July 19, 2017 I have also had episodic connection problems. I receive a 500 error, indicating the problem is with the serving (web hosting) end, not my computer. Repeatedly trying worked most of the time, or simply opening another tab. My guess is that for repeat connections, there was a software/hardware change that can't handle certain referrers, or repeat of stale connections. What's annoying is that I can connect to the MN website, but when this happens, not to any forum content. Never had this problem before. Jacob, first try another tab. If that doesn't work, try a different browser... Or blame Mr. Holmes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobsaunders Report post Posted July 19, 2017 Miraculously, for no apparent reason, Maestronet has re-appeared on my laptop, after an absence of several days. Is the moral of the story, when something doesn’t work, to just ignore it until it starts behaving again? Although I agree that blaming Jeffrey is a good option!

Blank face Report post Posted July 19, 2017 I was unable to see MN, too, as well on my PC nor my phone, in- and outside my rooms. There are two different mesages, sometimes "the server needs too long" (maybe a shark cut the transatlantic wire?), at other times "temporary offline". Just for the records.

WorksAsIntended Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Actually I had a lot of DNS issues with maestronet the last couple of days, even landing on the wrong page with some connections (Germany). To me it looked like a major dns problem outside of mn and my system. I sometimes loose connection to mn around Frankfurt too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
