Are you switching from CL because sometimes you can't get on TOTV? try ultrasurf.com search for TOTV. It uses a different server then CL uses. So it works until CL does something. Then stop using ultrasurf.com---use your chromebook.

I have had CL for a while and this is a new problem that will pass.

I gave it a shot last time and it got me to the opening page of TOTV and the Nothing more. Ooops. I think I'm going to wait until the middle of May and then decide. Other than this CL has been good. I just wanna get on the computer and use it not talk about it. Geez.

Do you have an all in one modem, router combo or an independent router.

All in one from Century Linkster. I bought it day 1 no lease.

CL customer -- I've only been able to connect to TOTV through VPN on Opera for a month or so, but the problem fixed itself this week and I can now connect normally with all browsers.

Some one come clean on TOTV accessibility-be it CL or TOTV!! On one macbook, I changed to public DNS with 8's and access is good. On the other macbook I left the DNS as was and using Network Utility, did a Trace Route on TOTV IP address and saw it knocked CL out after step 5.
So looks like it's a TOTV problem?

More like CL problem. Google DNS is getting you there CL DNS is failing.

I'm curious why it worked for me and didn't work for you.

Yet disabling the Wifi on my smartphone gets me connected every time.

I have tried Safari, Opera, Google Chrome & FireFox on IMac.

I have tried Opera, Google Chrome, Bing, IE, Firefox on Windows 10 with no luck.

I also tried the one on Tomwed suggested the other day on each computer.

I also took my laptop with Windows 10 to my next door neighbor and signed into their Wifi and TOTV'S was accessed thru each above-mentioned surf engine with Comcast. I'm not changing numbers on my computer or router, respectfully said in regard to those that know how. Let them fix the damn thing. If I technically misspoke about anything please excuse me. Fixing computer problems is normally not my thing, thankfully.

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'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. 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.

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
