[DELETE]feedback By "no timeout", do you mean that DNS lookups all resolved properly and promptly? rlhartman New
[DELETE]feedback By "no timeout", I was referring to what was experienced before. MiddleSchooler New
[DELETE]feedback OK, it appears you are able to access FaceBook's webserver. Were you experiencing the problem when you ran these tests? rlhartman New
[DELETE]feedback Yes, I was experiencing the problem as I ran those tests. MiddleSchooler New
[DELETE]more Interestingly, I can get on Facebook fine before 8:30 Mountain Time. <NT> MiddleSchooler New
[DELETE]feedback Sounds like packet loss, though your pings didn't suggest that... rlhartman New

Wouldn't you know it. Facebook has been working almost normally. However, when I ran the ping continuously yesterday, I did see "No resources"
"Request timed out"..... once.

I'm running the ping now, as I type, and it just keeps saying "Request timed out". Nothing else. At first, I got the header when I tried to respond here then I hit stop then refresh to get the rest to open. That worked, as it usually does for Boater Talk.

Facebook is opening fine at this moment and promptly.

Could this be a modem issue? Don't know if you recall in one of my earlier posts but before these problems appeared, I'd lose Internet Access which I'd gain back by unplugging the power at the modem and leaving it unplugged for 30 or more seconds. That hasn't happened since these problems I'm experiencing now started occurring. Related? Coincidence?

Thanks again for all your help!
