About 15 minutes ago i could not get on using my chromebook. Ultrasurf did not work.

I googled changing my automatic [DNS] name server to a Google DNS server and that worked. This is what I did on my chromebook to change it.

click the lower right corner of the screen
click Connected To [the name of your network]
click the name of your network
click Network
scroll down to

Name servers [and you have 3 choices]
Automatic name servers
Google name servers
Custom name servers

I picked Google name servers and it worked. I got on TOTV

Later I went back to Automatic name servers and it worked too.

Go figure.

print that out and keep it handy and let me know if it works for you

I think you have something there Tomwed. Ultrasurf got me to the front page of TOTV's when CL wouldn't allow that. The only problem with ultra soft was it kept popping up even when I didn't want to see it. It's always something, correct?

I'm better off making Tamales and Tacos then troubleshooting computer problems. I will no longer accept help from certain people on technical services. I'm not racist its just I cant understand them and they make believe they understand me. So its a mess. I've been told I speak with a NY/NJ flair. :rant-rave: :pepper2: I don't know what their talking about, Fugetaboutit.

That's why I prefer chatting online when available. Some companies outsource technical support to another country. I'm not bright enough to substitute the correct word from the word I think I heard.

But many users have thought our site was down and it wasn't.

We wish we could do more to help those customers who have been trying to access TOTV and haven't. Glad to hear at least some CL customers are able to get on. I wonder if it is owned vs leased routers?

Regards,

Cl was working for me so I discarded the email from to TOTV with instructions as to who to call to fix access. Now I can't get on so can I get that information again please? Thanks
